sponsored by the national Ladies Auxiliary organization. Ali’s
work was
submitted to the Department of PA Youth Chairman per the rules of the
contest. Department winners advance to the national level where each
entry will

the
content of how it relates to patriotism and clarity of ideas; the design
technique;
total impact of work; and uniqueness.
Along with her artwork,
Ali submitted a short explanation of patriotism expressed
in her art. Her painting “represents both the living soldiers of
the present, and
the fallen soldiers of the past………….The painting
also represents the sacrifices
that so many have made in order for us to be free……….I
incorporated the words
of the Declaration of Independence into my painting to represent the very
first
time The United States of America came together to fight for our freedoms….”.
This is a national
