Honoring Our Veterans with Joe Cooper and George Sarros
This past weekend, we were privileged to host an inspiring and heartfelt event as part of the Military Lecture Series in Greenville. Veterans Joe Cooper and George Sarros delivered a captivating talk that brought history to life, delving into the heroism and sacrifice of World War II veterans.
The event was made even more special by Bob Howard, the dedicated organizer of the Military Lecture Series. In a remarkable gesture of support for preserving and sharing our military history, Bob presented a $1,000 donation to the Veterans History Museum of the Carolinas. His generosity is a testament to the enduring respect for those who served our nation.
The day also saw a wonderful response from attendees eager to learn and connect. We sold $760 worth of World War II books, which Joe and George graciously signed for a line of enthusiastic supporters. It was heartwarming to witness so many people taking home not just books, but tangible pieces of history to share with their families and future generations.
Events like these serve as a reminder of the importance of honoring our veterans and keeping their stories alive. Each conversation, each book, and each donation contributes to the vital mission of the museum—to ensure the legacy of our heroes is never forgotten.
