Mark Williamson to be featured speaker
Veteran’s Day is next Monday, and there are two veteran’s Day Programs you can attend to show your support for our men and women in uniform.
The first is the student led veteran’s day program, hosted in the GHS Gymnasium and will be on Monday the Nov. 11 at 2:15 p.m. This program will feature students from all grade levels as well as the GHS High School Band and singers of all ages.
Later that same day the American Legion Post #23 is honoring one of their own as the keynote speaker, Legionary and Master of Arms, Mark Williamson.
Williamson has a long list of accomplishments in his military service, in the Order of the Purple Heart, and his service to the post and his hometown of Garretson. Just this summer he was honored at the 14U State Baseball Tournament held in Garretson on the weekend of July 27th, electing to wear his old Legion baseball team uniform from his own time as a legion ballplayer. Recently, Williamson was also selected to go on an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.
Social hour at the Legion starts at 6 p.m. and the program begins at 7 p.m. Come out to support our veterans for what they have done for the freedom of our nation and continue to do philanthropically out of uniform.
