As part of the tribute at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument, two local students\u2014<strong>Kyle Kauffman of Oak Ridge High School<\/strong> and<strong> Corrinne Whitney of Golden Sierra High<\/strong>\u2014were awarded $3,000 and $2,000 scholarships respectively by the Veterans Monument Scholarship Advisory Committee (VMSAC).<\/p>\n<p>These scholarships are awarded annually to graduating high school seniors who are the sons or daughters of U.S. military veterans residing in El Dorado County. Since the program&#8217;s inception in 2010, the Committee has distributed over $25,000 to support higher education, underscoring the region\u2019s commitment to honoring military families through educational opportunity.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEach application tells a story of patriotism carried forward by the next generation,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>said Committee Chair Janet Buchanan, who presented the awards.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are proud to support these students in their pursuit of education, guided by their family\u2019s legacy of service.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To qualify, students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher and submit a completed application, essay, letter of recommendation, and a copy of their veteran parent\u2019s DD-214 form. The essay prompt\u2014\u201cHow will you help preserve America\u2019s freedoms?\u201d\u2014encourages thoughtful civic reflection. Applications are due annually by April 1 and may be obtained through the El Dorado Community Foundation or high school counseling offices.<\/p>\n<p>This year also marked the introduction of a new opportunity: the Scholar Athlete Scholarship Fund, created in honor of Marine Staff Sergeant Sky Mote, NC, a Union Mine High School graduate who was killed in action in Afghanistan on August 10, 2012. SSgt Mote, remembered for his courage and commitment, was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the second-highest decoration for valor in combat. He also earned the Purple Heart and multiple commendation and conduct medals over his nine years of service.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn his final act of bravery, he boldly engaged the gunman, now less than five meters in front of him, until falling mortally wounded,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>reads his Navy Cross citation.<\/p>\n<p>Richard W. Buchanan, founder of the El Dorado County Veterans Monument, emphasized the honor of carrying forward Mote\u2019s legacy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Navy Cross is awarded for extraordinary heroism, often posthumously. Sky Mote exemplified the very best of our county and our country.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mote\u2019s father, Russ Mote, shared that<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSky epitomized the characteristics of sportsmanship, leadership, and his love of running.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The scholarship bearing his name will be awarded to exceptional cross-country athletes who also excel in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Funds from both scholarships are payable directly to institutions and may be used for tuition, books, materials, fees, and room and board. The Veterans Coalition hopes that through education, these young men and women will carry forward the values of service, sacrifice, and civic duty.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to apply, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eldoradocf.org\">www.eldoradocf.org<\/a> or contact the El Dorado County Veterans Coalition at 530-626-7762.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Placerville, Calif. \u2014 At the heart of El Dorado County\u2019s annual Memorial Day ceremony stood a powerful reminder that service does not end when the uniform comes off.
