Congratulations to Zane Searcy, pictured alongside First Vice-Commander Carlton Hawkins, who won this year’s North Carolina 4th Division Oratorical Contest on Feb. 24. Searcy will now advance to the state competition on Saturday, March 23 in Cary at Westwood Baptist Church. He was representing American Legion Post 147 Rockingham-East Rockingham. Searcy will again deliver an eight to ten minute speech entirely with no notes; he rehearsed with Hawkins once every week prior to the district level competition.
