For the eighth consecutive year, Middle Georgia State University (MGA) and Macon-Bibb co-hosted a Veterans Day ceremony at Coleman Hill in downtown Macon.
The event, which was open to the public, took place at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 10. Participants joined MGA and Macon-Bibb in honoring our heroes and remembering the sacrifices of those made by the 151st Machine Gun Battalion, 42nd Rainbow Division, members of which lost their lives during World War I. The ceremony took place at the Coleman Hill monument established in memory of those battalion members.
Students from the Westside High School Air Force JROTC conducted the Posting of the Colors. Air Force Master Sgt. (retired) Isaac Taylor, campus services coordinator and military student specialist at MGA, lead the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer. Georgia Air National Guard Lt. Col. Chrissy Miner lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Jason Detter, MGA sophomore, sang the hymn, "Amazing Grace." Speakers included Macon-Bibb Mayor Lester Miller and MGA President Christopher Blake.
