During the day-long program the students toured the state capitol, the governor's mansion and the Kentucky Vietnam Memorial. They also met with Kentucky Gov. Steve Breshear and heard presentations from government officials and Frankfort report Jack Brammer, who works with the Lexington Herald-Leader.
