 "An eight year-old Filipina writer will enjoy a unique honor this Sunday—having her work read aloud by US First Lady Michelle Obama. Kiana Tuzon, the daughter of Filipino American US Marine Norman Tuzon, won an essay contest of the Armed Services YMCA.
This winning essay will be read this weekend by Mrs. Obama. Mrs. Obama will visit Camp Pendleton on Sunday (June 12, 2010), and will meet with Kiana, her mother Eliza Tuzon and other military families. In the essay titled, “My Military Hero",” Kiana talks about how proud she is of her dad who is now in Afghanistan, and her mom. “When he is deployed to other countries…my military hero is my mom…she works 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. She is always there when I need her,” writes Kiana. The essay is on display with 25 other winners at the US Senate." |
