American <strong>FFA</strong> Degree<br />
The American <strong>FFA</strong> Degree is the highest degree of membership<br />
an <strong>FFA</strong> member can achieve, and only about one half<br />
of one percent of the total national membership of the organization<br />
attain this honor. To receive the American <strong>FFA</strong><br />
Degree, members must demonstrate a solid commitment to<br />
agriculture and <strong>FFA</strong>. 2,849 <strong>FFA</strong> members were awarded the<br />
American degree this year. Recipients were honored at a<br />
luncheon and were awarded a certificate onstage Saturday<br />
morning for their achievement.<br />
Among those receiving the degrees was Private Wesley<br />
Brown of Virginia, who recently spent time serving our<br />
nation in Iraq. He was thrilled to be back in the United<br />
States so that he could pick up his American degree in person.<br />
Brown’s presence at the American degree ceremony<br />
reminded all <strong>FFA</strong> members to take pride in being part of such<br />
a great organization.<br />
