    One of Two Ohio Students as a Senator going to D. C.

    Loveland, Ohio – Mackenzie Evans, Loveland, is one of 94 high school seniors selected to attend American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Girls Nation July 22-29 in Washington, D.C. The weeklong program, founded in 1947, has provided exceptional civic education to thousands of students, teaching them about how the federal government works.

    Evans is one of two participants who will represent Ohio as a “senator” at ALA Girls Nation. Two delegates from each ALA Girls State program are chosen to represent their state after participating in an ALA state-level program held across the country. At ALA Girls Nation, senators will participate in mock Senate sessions complete with caucuses and debating bills that range from personal to political interests.

    Other activities on the agenda include a visit to Arlington National Cemetery where they will place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a visit to Capitol Hill to meet with real-life U.S. senators from their state, and a tour of D.C. monuments.

    Evans, a rising senior at Little Miami High School, was active in many ways during her week at ALA Buckeye Girls State. She also participates in many activities in her school and community, including National Honor Society, French National Honor Society, Hope Squad, cross country, track and field, and Ski Club.

    “ALA Girls Nation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our nation’s future leaders to learn about the inner workings of the federal government before they are of voting age,” said Donna Dillard, ALA Girls Nation Committee chair. “After attending their local ALA Girls State program and then ALA Girls Nation, the participants return home ready to be engaged citizens at all levels of government.”

    Students leave the program with increased confidence and leadership skills for college and in their future career paths. Some participants of the program go on to have careers in public service at the local, state, and national levels. No matter what their future holds, all leave with a better understanding of civic responsibilities.

    The American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) is a community of volunteers serving veterans, military, and their families. Our members also support the mission of The American Legion in improving the quality of life for our nation’s veterans. Proud sponsor of ALA Girls Nation, National Poppy Day® and recognized for advocating for veterans on Capitol Hill, the more than 550,000 ALA members across the country volunteer millions of hours annually and raise millions of dollars in service to veterans, military, and their families. Founded in 1919, the ALA is one of the oldest patriotic membership organizations in the U.S.A. To learn more and to volunteer, join, and donate, visit www.ALAforVeterans.org.

  • Little Miami grad Lauren Delgado serves aboard U.S. Navy’s largest master jet base

    Story by Rick Burke, Navy Office of Community Outreach

    LEMOORE, Calif. – Petty Officer 1st Class Lauren Delgado, a native of Maineville, Ohio, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to Naval Air Station Lemoore (NAS) Lemoore, California.Delgado joined the Navy six years ago. Today, Delgado serves as an aviation structural mechanic- safety equipment.

    “After I graduated from high school, I was unsure of what career path I wanted to take,” said Delgado. “I joined the Navy for the benefits, the financial assistance for college and for the life experiences.”

    Growing up in Maineville, Delgado attended Little Miami High School and graduated in 2017. Today, Delgado relies upon skills and values similar to those found in Maineville to succeed in the military.

    “Playing softball for 10 years taught me teamwork and camaraderie,” said Delgado. “Also, my parents taught me self-discipline and a good work ethic. Those lessons have helped me succeed both professionally and personally.”

    NAS Lemoore is home to Commander Strike Fighter Wing Pacific and Commander Joint Strike Fighter Wing. More than half of the Navy’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft reside here, and it is the only Navy installation to house the F-35C Lightning II.

    This year commemorates 50 years of women flying in the U.S. Navy. In 1973, the first eight women began flight school in Pensacola; one year later six of them, known as “The First Six,” earned their “Wings of Gold.” Over the past 50 years, the Navy has expanded its roles for women to lead and serve globally and today our women aviators project power from the sea in every type of Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard aircraft. Our Nation and our Navy is stronger because of their service.

    With 90 percent of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to trained sailors and a strong Navy.

    “Our mission remains timeless – to provide our fellow citizens with nothing less than the very best Navy: fully combat ready at all times, focused on warfighting excellence, and committed to superior leadership at every single level,” said Adm. Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations. “This is our calling. And I cannot imagine a calling more worthy.”

    Serving in the Navy means Delgado is part of a team that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on strengthening alliances, modernizing capabilities, increasing capacities and maintaining military readiness in support of the National Defense Strategy.

    “We are always forward-deployed and ready to go at a moment’s notice to protect our country,” said Delgado.

    Delgado and the sailors they serve with have many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during their military service.

    “My proudest accomplishment is being promoted to the rank of petty officer first class,” said Delgado. “Making first class is a testament to the hard work that I put in and my leadership to junior sailors who look up to me and come to me for advice.”

    As Delgado and other sailors continue to train and perform missions, they take pride in serving their country in the United States Navy.

    “Serving in the Navy makes my family proud and gives me an opportunity to provide for myself and my family,” said Delgado.

    Delgado is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.

    “I would like to thank my parents, Jeff and Rebecca Woodard,” added Delgado. “They have supported me throughout every step and every decision in my life.”
