Armistice Day, 1945: Gradyville recognized 11 WWII Veterans of its own The following article appeared on page one of the Wednesday, November 14, 1945 edition of the Adair County News. By CYRUS A bit of historical perspective: In November, 1945, the war in Europe had ended only six months earlier; the ink on the Allied-Japanese peace treaty was barely two months dry; many thousands of U.S. soldiers still were staioned in Europe, the South Pacific, and Japan; and the soldiers who had come home had been welcomed like the heroes they were.
Editors note: The Gradyville Methodist Church was located on what is now Old Gradyville Road, situated next to the Hob Walker residence and store. The building is no longer there.The newspaper account did not give the names of the 11 Gradyville heroes. If anyone has additional knowledge of the names of any of them, please let us know. We'll append them, one-at-a-time, if necessary. Send to: ed@columbiamagazine.com or enter in Submissions. This story was posted on 2005-11-11 04:32:24
