Mrs. Laura Bush poses with the winners of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) National Voice of Democracy Award on the Grand Staircase at the White House, Monday, March 5, 2007 in Washington, D.C. The young students participated in the Voice of Democracy scholarship contest, an annual audio essay competition for high school students. The contest, which is designed to foster patriotism, gives students the opportunity to voice their opinions in a three-to five-minute essay. Created in 1947, the VFW scholarship program provides $3 million in scholarships each year. White House photo by Shealah Craighead
