There are many veterans in Florida, so there are many American Legion posts. Typically, two different posts have chosen their candidates from Citrus High School in Inverness. The number of interested young men has been decreasing as there is more and more to do. So, one of the local posts decided to look for a homeschooled candidate this year. They contacted the local Civil Air Patrol squadron for suggestions, and the Commander recommended Landon.
He had to give a speech to the members of the post and answer their questions. They voted to send him to Tallahassee as their delegate for Boys State.
Isn't he handsome? He's so excited about going as he LOVES politics!

This is very exciting and quite an honor, hope he has a wonderful time.
Fun! I remember going to Girls State when I was in high school.
That is a HUGE achievement, Linda...especially in the world of college applications!
How wonderful! Landon will have a great time and I can see him running for governor. I attended Girls State many years ago.
Linda,
This is a wonderful opportunity for him. How exciting he was selected!
Wow, Linda, this is such an honor for Landon! What a lovely outside confirmation of the young man you are raising. :)
What a wonderful opportunity!
What a great opportunity! He looks very spiffy all dressed up.
