A writing contest for Pickens County's military personnel is in full swing. This contest is for those now serving or those who have served in the United States Armed Services. First prize is $100. The contest has three categories: Combat; Non-combat and a special category for the immediate families of service men and women.

May is National Military Appreciation Month. Members of the military seldom are revered as they should be. Whether it be peace time or a time of war, the service is a great interruption in people's lives. And it comes generally at the prime of life.

The deadline for entries has been extended till Friday, June 14 (Flag Day). It is simple to enter. Type 1500 words or less as your entry. The author's name should not show on the entry but should be placed on a cover sheet along with contact information. Submit it to the e-mail address:
mailto:Vet196strong@gmail.com For those without computer access, entries may be dropped off at the office of the Pickens County Progress.

July Luncheon

11:30am, 10 July 2019

"Cyber Security
From a National 
Security Perspective"

Our speaker will be covering the history, industrialization and global sponsorship of the cyber threat and terrorism industry. Many whom have served can relate to the overall threat and personal participation in cyber security; thus hopefully will enjoy looking at it from a global/state sponsorship perspective and what that means from a national security perspective.
