Newberry County Veteran’s Affairs recently got to work in the community to help construct ramps for local seniors.
The first ramp was constructed for Mr. Thomas Longshore, a 94-year-old combat medic who fought in the Korean War. Chapin Baptist Men’s Ministry, headed by Mr. Woody Wager and Mr. Billy Gardner, worked with about 50 volunteers to construct the ramp. In fact, they said this was one of the largest ramps their ministry has built!
The second ramp was assembled by EmmanuWheel (emmanuwheel.org), headed by Mr. Chris Sharpe, for Ms. Annell Lee Glasgow -- the widow of combat veteran Mr. Perry Lee Glasgow, a Vietnam veteran.
These two organizations are all volunteers and have made it their missions to give back to their communities.
Newberry County Veteran’s Affairs would like to offer their heartfelt gratitude for all of their help to improve the lives of our local veterans and their families!
