Minnesota Military Order of the Purple Heart’s Scholarship recipients for 2024 were Brandon Hodge and Lyvia Misegades. Brandon and Lyvia were each awarded a $3,000 scholarship, and both decided to write research papers about their grandfathers. It was fun the hear them read their papers aloud at the award ceremony.
Pictured are Brandon Hodge with his grandfather Duane Hodge, and Lyvia Misegades with her grandfather Bruce Hanstad.
