Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home to celebrate Memorial Day

The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home will hold its annual Memorial Day Ceremony to honor its residents and others who have served this country at 9 a.m. Monday, May 30 in the facility courtyard.

Colonel Charles P. Daly, a highly decorated U.S. Army veteran with nearly 25 years of service, including a post in the Special Missions Command for the White House Communications Agency at Camp David, will give remarks. Currently at Fort Gordon, Daly holds a Master of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from both the Navy War College and the Army War College.

Fort Gordon’s U.S. Army Signal Corps Band and the Post Ceremonial Detachment Color Guard also will participate in the public ceremony.
