Edison State Community College
Help Sought
From Korean War Era Veterans and Families
In preparation for a program to honor Korean War Era veterans at Edison
State Community College, the program coordinator, Dr. Vivian Blevins,
is seeking the help of the community in two ways.
First, Blevins is requesting photos of those from the Miami Valley who
were in all branches of the service during the period for a unique
display on November 10. The photos may be scanned and sent as
attachments to Blevins' email address at the college. The prints may
also be mailed to Blevins at the college, and she will scan them and
promptly return the originals to the senders.
Because both Korean War Era veterans and their spouses/widows will be
recognized at the program, names, addresses, and telephone numbers are
being requested so that invitations and information may be mailed.
The program on November 10 will begin with lunch at 11:45 a.m. provided
by the Piqua VFW Post 4874. The Piqua Community Foundation is providing
expenses for the remainder of the program. There will be music, a
speaker, a panel of three Korean War veterans discussing their
experiences, displays, and tokens of appreciation for veterans and
their spouses as well as for widows, and a flag retirement ceremony.
Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend this program to
honor those in the military during what has been termed "the Forgotten
War."
For more information, contact Vivian Blevins by emailing
vblevins@edisonohio.edu<mailto:vblevins@edisonohio.edu> or
calling (937) 778-3815. Photographs may be mailed to the college with
attention to Vivian Blevins at 1973 Edison Drive, Piqua, OH 45356.
