Congratulations to Caroline Hodge, the South Putnam DAR Good Citizen. In her essay, Caroline wrote about how each of us can work within our community to uphold the words in the Pledge of Allegiance by understanding our history and helping others. She states, "What we can do is lift our neighbors up." She explains, "We need to care about those around us, work to understand them and their actions." She concludes, "In this way, we start to interact with our own community's history. We start to shape it, to mold it into one of more understanding, a more accepting, a more equal history." Caroline and the other winners from around the county will read their entire essays and be acknowledged in the DAR Good Citizens presentation at the Putnam County Library on December 5th.
