Re: DAR Good Citizens Scholarship
Dear DAR Selection Committee:
It is with the utmost enthusiasm that I write this letter to recommend Kyle McClendon for
selection as a DAR Good Citizen.
Per the criteria, a DAR Good Citizen exhibits to an outstanding degree dependability, service,
leadership and patriotism. As someone who has known Kyle for nearly 3 years, employed
him and served along side him in various arenas, I can personally attest to Kyle’s character of
excellence in all these capacities.
In every environment, Kyle is a natural leader. His personality is infectious and his spirit is
engaging- people are drawn to him, and there is joy in following his lead. When given an
undertaking, Kyle never does only what is asked, but he demonstrates his personal
investment in the task at hand, by exceeding all expectations. Long after the opportunity is
over, Kyle is still following up and checking in to ensure all is well. Kyle’s servant-hearted
spirit permeates through all that he does, where he is constantly considering others before
himself and lending a hand where needed. And ultimately, he is a young man of integrity,
who holds firm to his convictions and beliefs with the utmost grace. He is someone you want
to listen to, because you know he is postured in veracity.
I think it goes without saying that Kyle is a phenomenal candidate for consideration for this
recognition. I feel honored to have him on my team, and I can honestly say we are a much
better organization because of him.
