Makenzie Keiser is recognized for the 2018 Illinois Governor’s Hometown Award for Environmental Stewardship, Nov. 6, at the Edwardsville City Council meeting for her efforts in the Girl Scouts.

Keiser recently earned the Girl Scouts Gold Award, the highest earned in the Girl Scouts. She earned this award for her final project that helped teach children in Edwardsville how to create vegetable gardens and grow vegetables. Keiser worked with the YMCA Early Childhood Development Center in Edwardsville to design and develop three raised gardens at the YMCA's children playground. She taught students not only the importance of vegetables and how they are cultivated, but also how to start growing them from seeds.

“If you teach children how to grow vegetables, they will always have food,” said Keiser.

Keiser is a poolee with the Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program with Recruiting Station St. Louis and is set to leave for Marine Corps recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, Nov. 13.

The Delayed Entry Program incorporates recruits into the inactive reserves and includes an agreement to report for active duty, most often called “shipping out to boot camp”, at a specific date in the future.

“Being a Girl Scout has taught me to be confident in the choices i make and adapt to, and overcome any obstacles in my path,” said Keiser. “It has taught me to be a better leader and to be fearless in any situation. In the Marine Corps there will be times that I will have to use my knowledge and experience in order to get past an obstacle. I plan on using what the Girl Scouts have taught me in order to be the best Marine that I can be.”

LITTLE CHUTE, Wisc. – Shiloh Bent, a Kaukauna, Wisconsin, native, announced his decision of joining the military at Little Chute High School on Tuesday, October 16th for Signing Day. This day is for students to show off their accomplishments to the rest of the school and inspire them. Bent chose to enlist in the Marine Corps through Recruiting Sub-Station Appleton.
Bent has family in the military whom have served in the military. This influenced his big decision to enlist.
“My grandfather was in the Army and served many years,” said Bent. “He is one of my biggest supporters when it came to my decision to enlist in the Marines.”
Bent trains with the recruiters of RSS Appleton to prepare himself for boot camp.
“He’s already starting to show improvement since the first time he’s trained with us at the recruiting office,” said Staff Sgt. Brent Howard, RSS Appleton’s staff non-commissioned officer-in-charge. “He’s very motivating. He motivates all the other poolees around him.”
Bent’s picture will go up at his school in the Cove of Valor upon graduation of recruit training. This wall is where students and faculty can honor the men and women who serve the country.
“It is such an honor to think my picture will be up there along those who served before me,” said Bent. “I know to get there I’m going to face many challenges, but I’m really looking forward to earning the title United States Marine.”
