“Jessie Linnell fits the profile laid down through the years by Daughters of the American Revolution,” said teacher James Dorsey in a recommendation. “She is dedicated to her community and to our country. I’ve been a witness to her tenacity and compassion since ninth-grade. It continues to grow as she matures.”
