From the Wheeling News-Register: Korean War Vets To Be Honored
Military veterans who served in the Korean War will be honored at a Veterans Day observance which will take place at 11 a.m. Friday at the All-Wars Monument on the east lawn of the Marshall County Courthouse in Moundsville.
Korean War veterans planning to attend are asked to contact Bob Blazer either by email at rblazer1306@comcast, or by telephone at 304-281-7331 in order to have a seat reserved. Also, Korean War veterans from Marshall County unable to attend are asked to contact Blazer with information on their branch of service.
Korean War veterans in attendance will be recognized while those unable to attend will have their names read.
At last year's Veterans Day observance World War II veterans were honored in a similar fashion.
Speaking of veterans, the second volume of Gary Rider's book, "Marshall County Patriots and Heroes," will be available during a book signing from 4-6 Thursday at the Moundsville-Marshall County Public Library.
Rider will introduce the book and sign it for those who wish to purchase a copy.
Volume 2 includes information of 140 veterans from Marshall County who served in the military from the American Revolution to Afghanistan. Several of the profiles are of men who were prisoners of war or killed in action. More than 60 World War II veterans have stories in the book.
Volume 1 contained information on 130 military veterans.
Rider has compiled information on 50 others who will be a part of Volume 3.
Volume 1will also be available for purchase on Friday, and after that date the books will be at Ace Hardware.
For more information about the book signing call the library at 304-845-6911.
