Macon East Students Chosen by Dixie Electric to Tour Washington
Mattie Pugh and Bryant Morrison were chosen as two of the four 2024 Washington Youth Tour representatives by Dixie Electric Cooperative! They recently embarked on a week-long adventure in our nation’s capital, and what an incredible journey it was! From visiting iconic monuments to witnessing the breathtaking Sunset Parade at the Marine Corps War Memorial, Mattie and Bryant experienced it all. They saw the “Commandant’s Own” U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle Corps and the esteemed U.S. Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon in action.
Their trip was packed with learning and inspiration. They delved into the world of co-ops, grassroots, and youth advocacy, traveled to historic Mount Vernon, and visited Ford’s Theatre and the Peterson House. A motivational speech from Mike Schlappi added an extra dose of inspiration!
Mattie and Bryant also had the chance to get a glimpse of the Capitol, meet with legislative staffers, and explore the Supreme Court building and the Library of Congress. Their visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where they paid their respects at John F. Kennedy’s grave and participated in a Wreath Laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, was truly moving.
Dixie Electric Cooperative believes in empowering future generations, and that’s why we’ve been part of the Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour program for many years. This program offers outstanding high school students the chance to develop leadership skills, learn about the cooperative business model, and explore historical sites in Montgomery, Ala., and Washington, D.C.
