  • Joe Thomson, U.S. Army, Viet Nam
  • Delmas Clemons, U.S. Army, Korea
  • Benjamin Nelson, U.S. Marines, Afghanistan

"When you consider the sacrifices made by the 26 million plus Veterans in this country, all of us should be willing to take a moment to stop and thank them for their service," said Guinn. "It doesn't take much to shake someone's hand, express gratitude, and let them know they are appreciated, regardless of one's view on war. While we thanked four veterans from Lebanon tonight, our goal is to let every veteran and active duty military person across the country know that their efforts do not go unnoticed by their communities and their country."
