South Gwinnett Rotary Club Honors World War II Veterans

More than 40 Gwinnett County World War II veterans were honored on Nov. 11.

The South Gwinnett Rotary Club recognized over 40 Gwinnett County World War II veterans from all branches of service on Veteran's Day, Nov 11, 2011.

The event featured guest speaker Colonel Robert Young of the Third Army. In his speech Colonel Young reminded attendees that the veterans represented grew up during the Great Depression, fought in a world war and returned to build a great nation. 

Patch has made a correction to this story. The guest speaker was mis-identified. We have made the changes and apologize for the mistake.
