The Worthington Times

A number of Worthington veterans gathered for a group picture on the front steps of the First Christian Church early Saturday morning before the memorial service honoring Alfred Livingston.

Although the day was set aside to honor one who fell at Pearl Harbor, Worthington is proud of all of our many veterans who have given years of their lives defending our freedom.  Thank you all for your service.

Together, these hometown veterans have served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the Iraqi Freedom Conflicts as well as in peacetime. They have served in the Pacific Theater, Germany, France, England, Vietnam, Korea, Guam, Bosnia, Kosovo, Turkey, Iraq and the U.S.A.
