Charles attended the Memorial Day observance in Sheffield (near Iraan) this morning where FUMC - Iraan and US Navy veteran, Burton Lanehart was to be honored. Burton served in WWII aboard the USS Ranger (the first purpose-built aircraft carrier), mostly in the Atlantic. He also spent some time in the Pacific on the Ranger and ended the war aboard the USS Ticonderoga.
There were several FUMC - Iraan members on hand which made for a special event for everyone. Charles was among the nearly two dozen veterans present (more than sixty Iraan and Sheffield residents were in attendance) who were recognized for their service.
