Veteran's Day
Ellaville, Georgia
Schley County
Sunday, November 8, 2009
Yesterday, November 8th I was able to attend the Veteran's Day Events in Ellaville, Georgia. The Rainbow Garden Club and the Auxilary of American Legion Post 191 in Ellaville observed the Day with a Lunch at the American Legion Post.
After a delightful lunch the Auxiliary conducted a Memorial Service where a candle was lite for each Veteran who had passed away since November 11, 2008. They also draped the POW Flag over a chair which allowed everyone in attendance to also remember these Heroes.
After the Lunch everyone proceeded to the City Square for the ground breaking of the Blue Star Memorial Marker which will be erected to also honor our Nation's Heroes, past, present and future. The Schley County High School Band performed the "Star Spangled Banner" as part of the celebration.
The Flag Corps also performed. This event certainly allowed everyone to focus on why it is such a pleasure to reside in any town in our great Country. The fellowship and the respect displayed by everyone in attendance was very emotional for me.
The events of the day were concluded by the ground breaking for the Blue Star Memorial Marker by the Mayor of Ellaville, Georgia. A day filled with events that certainly honored The Veterans of the area. To learn more about the Blue Star Memorial Marker program please visit:
Thank You to all who have served, to all who are serving and also to all who will serve in defense of our United States of America.
In conclusion, the Flower Child would like to also state that the Town of Ellaville, Georgia and Schley County, Georgia certainly honored their Heroes on Sunday, November 8, 2009. The citizens of this area can certainly be proud of their Veteran's Day Celebration.
