We had a great turnout on June 5th at our Little Library dedication. Thanks to all those who attended. Here are a few photos from the day:Clockwise beginning at left: WWII Navy veteran Art Fishman reads excerpts of Alex Jefferson' book (Red Tail Captured; Red Tail Free), artist Michelle Hurley assists WWII Tuskegee Airman Alex Jefferson in placing the first book in the library with board members and guests looking on, Franklin Library representative Rebecca Gale speaks at the dedication, board members with D-Day veteran Cliff Alvira and dedication attendees.

The Little Library is located in the north end of Memorial Park, near the picnic pavillion.

June 19 at the Kilgore Scottish Center was a night to remember. George Luz, Jr. shared the stories of his father, George Luz, Sr. A member of the Airborne’s Easy Company, George’s heroism was an inspiration to all and reminded all gathered of the courage and character of the Greatest Gemeration.

Our thanks to Mission BBQ for their donation of an incredible dinner!
