Twelve students—9 from Grosse Pointe North Young Americans for Freedom and three from Grosse Pointe South Young Americans for Freedom—loaded a packed bus with other Michiganders departing from Grosse Pointe North High School July 9th. They ventured on tours of Gettysburg and Washington D.C., and more importantly, the students gained incredible knowledge from influential speakers such as Michigan Congressman Bill Huizenga, television personality Rachel Campos Duffy, author Katie Pavlich, YAF President Ron Robinson, YAF Vice-President Patrick Coyle, and more.
