Wayland Veterans Memorial Freedom Prize winner chosen. By quoting former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, saying the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance have "history, character, and context which prevents them from being constitutional violations at all," Christine Cocce, a Wayland High School sophomore, concludes her winning essay, "The Ignorance of a Nation: ‘Under God’ is Constitutional," to become the recipient of the 2010 Wayland Veterans Memorial Freedom Prize.
