OCS of Midlands South event features Medal of Honor recipient, recognizes military-bound seniors
Dozens of local teenagers and their parents got a message of encouragement and gratitude Wednesday evening from one of the Army’s most highly honored veterans, with the support of a variety of neighbors.
Local boosters of the Our Community Salutes organization paved the way for military-bound seniors from high schools around Aiken, Edgefield and Barnwell counties to gather at the USC Aiken Convocation Center, where the featured speaker was Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Lovar Romesha, an Army veteran originally from Lake City, California.
