Three area veterans received special recognition during the annual Veterans Day Program at Tri-County School last Friday, November 10th. The morning started with a breakfast for the veterans and their families. The program conducted by the FFA Chapter started with the school band playing the National Anthem conducted by Wesley Englert. Tori Dunks, FFA President, welcomed all those attending, followed by the posting of the colors by Cale Turner and Keaton Norman. Pledge of Allegiance was led by Zayne Hutchinson and Zander Ackley. Callie Skinner gave the invocation. Coloring and poster contest winners were announced. Emma Henderson introduced Craig Owen the guest speaker. Mr. Owen is a native of Jamesport, where he grew up and ­graduated with the Tri-County High School class of 1981. He retired, after spending 37 years, with the U.S. Navy. Mr. Owen shared the facts and history of Veterans Day. Receiving special recognition for the day was Jerry Sharp, Gary Dixon, and Mike Huston. They were each presented a quilt. Jerry Sharp served in the United States Army from 1964 - 1967. He was the Sharp Shooter medal at basic training, shooting 45/50 shots at 100-500 yards, as well as winning the European Service Medal. Gary Dixon served in the United States Navy from 1970-1974. He served aboard the USS John F Kennedy CVA 67, Gary’s rank was PO2 ABE, Petty O’cer 2nd Class, Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Equipment. Mike Huston was a Sergeant in the United States Army, serving from 1966-1968. He was drafted and sent overseas to Vietnam, where he became part of the 515th Transportation Unit, which was attached to the 3rd Marine division. Mr. Huston drove a large truck and part of the time he was a gunner in the back of a jeep. He received the National Defense Service Medal, Vietrnam Service Medal, Bronze Star, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Ribbon and Marksman badge, and Rifle Bar. These veterans each received a “Quilt of Valor”. Quilts of Valor began in 2003 by Catherine Roberts whose son was deployed in Iraq. Catherine, a military mom, nurse and quilter felt that making a quilt for soldiers was something she could do. She began making quilts and “awarded” her first quilt to a wounded soldier at Walter Reed Hospital. Soon friends joined her effort. With the help of the Internet, in just two years (2005) Catherine’s effort became a National Foundation with the purpose of awarding quilts to soldiers and veterans “touched by war”.
