This is the WWII Veterans Posting the Colors. Bro. Quentin England, with help from Bro. Bruce Edwards is carrying the American Flag and Bro. Ernest Thomas, with help from Bro. David Shockley is carrying the Christian Flag.
These gentlemen are the veterans that attend our church. Front row left to right: Wayne Garrett, Ralph Creekmore, George Cooper, Leonard Jolly, and Quentin England. Back row: Mitch Edwards, Bruce Edwards, Ernest Thomas, David Shockley, James Hurt.
These are pictures that people brought of their loved ones.
It was a neat service. Bro. Joel Franks, our pastor allowed Daniel Garrett, my brother, to open the service today. He spoke about the veterans and the sacrifice they each made. He quoted scripture that said that there is no greater love than for a man to lay down his life for a friend. Each person, when he/she signed up for the service basically said he was willing to die for his country and his countrymen. It was a very moving service. Bro. Joel then followed up with a touching service.
I had tears in my eyes again just looking at your pictures. It was truly a great service.
