Flags replaced in memory of veteran

POMEROY — Just in
time for Veterans Day,
new flags have been
placed near the Bridge
of Honor which connects
Pomeroy and Mason
thanks to a donation in
memory of a local veteran.
Dan Morris of Pomeroy recently donated all
new flags to be placed at
the bridge in memory of
his brother, United States
Navy veteran Robert B.
Morris.
The display includes
eight flags, five of the
flags represent the individual branches of the
military service groups,
one flag is for the POW/
MIA, one flag is the
State of Ohio Flag, and
the eighth is the Ameri-
can Flag.
The original flag poles
and flags were placed in
2012 as the Eagle Scout
project by Marshall
Aanestad. The poles
were damaged in March
2019 due to high winds,
and were replaced by the
Aanestad family in time
for Memorial Day 2019.
Dan Morris explained
that he brother had
attended Pomeroy High
School before joining the
Navy, and following his
service went on to get his
GED and ultimately Master’s degree, becoming an
elementary principal at
Bradbury, Pomeroy and
Middleport Elementary.
Robert Morris was
“active in the Legion and
a proud American” said
his brother.

Veteran’s idea helps fellow heroes
Staff Report
POMEROY — Bill Brothers
had a vision to offer vouchers to veterans at the Meigs
County Farmers’ Market.
Brothers is himself a veteran, having served in the
Marine Corps Special Forces
from 1988 through 1992. He
was deployed with his unit
during the Gulf War (19901991), and took part in Operation Desert Storm.
He currently has the role of
Vice President of the Market,
and according to Market Manager Stephanie Rife, suggested
the idea of vouchers as a way
of acknowledging veterans for
their service.
He was very committed to
the
project, and after receivStephanie Rife | Courtesy photo

the decision was made to use
a portion of the funds to bring
his dream to fruition.
“It was decided to use
$200 to begin the program
that would offer vouchers in
the amount of $10 each. It
wasn’t a lot, but it was a way
of showing appreciation for
their service,” Rife said. “Bill
was responsible for making
veterans aware of the program,
and for the distribution of the
vouchers. It was all Bill, his
idea, his vision, he had it in
his heart to do something for
veterans, and the grant money
enabled the beginning of the
veterans vouchers.”
Rife said that neither Brothers or any member of the
market board solicited donations from the community, so

they were very surprised when people
began asking how they could contribute to the program.
Brothers was pleased with the community response, and happy the donations would allow additional vouchers
to be distributed. By the end of the
Market season, a total of 116 vouchers
had been given to veterans.
“The community seemed called to
sponsor the veterans vouchers. Bill
never asked, people just showed up
offering to donate,” said Rife.
She believes the community wants to
be part of something good, and Brothers’ project gave many that opportunity.
“He was so passionate about the
vouchers, and I think that, and his
dedication, inspired others.”
The $200 “seed money” grew over
the summer into a total of $1,160
through the generosity of the community, and Brothers dedication in bringing the vouchers to the veterans.
Even though it was Brothers’ idea
and effort that brought the program
into existence, he is reluctant to take
credit and instead is content that the
program was able to serve veterans in
the Market community.

Rally
From page 1
said the purpose of the rally is to
humanize the person behind the uniform during these tumultuous times.
The theme for the rally is a Bible
verse from the book of Matthew, specifically chapter five, verse 9, which
reads, “Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God”
(ESV). Parsons said the verse will be
included on the rally shirts, and orders
will be taken at the event.
There will be three guest speakers,
including Dennis Zimmerman, Frank
Holcomb, and Rick Smith.
Zimmerman is a retired captain of
special operations for the Phoenix
Fire Department, and is the current
Director of the Office of Emergency
Services for Mason County. He is also
a counterterrorism instructor for the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Holcomb is a retired corporal
with the West Virginia State Police,
while Smith is a deputy with the
Meigs County Sheriff’s Department
and a social media personality and
influencer.
Parsons said there will be a list displayed at the rally of every law enforcement agency located in the five-county
area. Open to the public, she said
those attending are urged to bring
homemade signs to display that bear
the name of the supporter’s favorite
agency or law enforcement officer.
“Thin Blue Line” bracelets and
stickers will be given out at no charge,
while supplies last. They are being
donated by the Angie Zimmerman
Realty Group.
“Back Your Local Blue Rally” t-shirt
orders will be taken that day, Parsons

Marshall mauls
Minutemen
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Taking
care of business.
The Marshall football team moved
up to 16th in the Associated Press
college football poll following a
resounding 51-10 victory over visiting Massachusetts on Saturday
afternoon during a non-conference
matchup at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
The host Thundering Herd (6-0)
never trailed and broke a 7-all tie
with a 44-3 surge over the final 47:02
of regulation, all while playing a
turnover-free game that resulted in a
plus-1 difference by day’s end.
MU churned out a balanced
attack of 267 rushing yards and 228
passing yards for a sizable 495-190
advantage in total yards of offense.
The Green and White also claimed
a 33-12 edge in first downs and
also went 6-of-7 in red zone scoring
opportunities.
The Herd built a 7-0 lead just 92
seconds into regulation as Brenden
Knox rumbled 45 yards to paydirt,
capping a 4-play, 75-yard drive with
13:28 left in the first stanza.
The Minutemen (0-2) countered
with a 6-play, 80-yard drive that
resulted in a 7-all tie after Samuel
Emilus hauled in a 2-yard pass from
Will Koch with 7:01 remaining.
Knox, however, added his second
and final rushing score on a 14-yard
scamper at the 2:02 mark of the first,
allowing Marshall to take a permanent lead of 14-7.
Corey Gammage hauled in a
19-yard pass from Grant Wells with
9:52 left in the first half, giving the
Herd a 21-7 cushion.
Shane Ciucci added a 43-yard field
goal with 6:04 remaining for a 24-7
lead, but Jeremy Martin responded
with a 46-yard field goal with 2:38
left in the half for a 24-10 contest.
Sheldon Evans tacked on an
11-yard run with 38 seconds remaining before halftime, pushing the
hosts out to a 31-10 advantage entering the break.
Xavier Gaines hauled in touchdown passes of 13 and 16 yards
from Wells in the third canto while
extending the lead out to 44-10
entering the finale.
Knowledge McDaniel tacked on a
14-yard touchdown run with 13:04
left in regulation to complete the
41-point triumph.
UMass produced 149 passing
yards and added 41 rushing yards on
29 attempts, a mere 1.4-yard average
per attempt. The guests were penalized five times for 68 yards, while
MU was flagged four times for 43
yards.
Knox led Marshall with 118 rushing yards on 14 carries, followed
by McDaniel with 43 yards on five
attempts.
Wells completed 21-of-30 passes
for 228 yards and three touchdowns,
while Gaines led the wideouts with
seven catches for 66 yards and two
scores. Seven different receivers also
caught at least one pass.
Tavante Beckett led the MU
defense with 11 tackles. Sam Burton
paced the hosts with 1.5 sacks, while
Darius Hodge recovered a fumble
that resulted in points following the
second Gaines TD grab.
Ellis Merriweather led the Massachusetts rushing attack with 31
yards on 10 carries. Koch went
12-of-18 passing for 99 yards and a
score, with Samuel leading the wideouts with six grabs for 29 yards and
a score.
Mike Ruane led the Minutemen
with nine tackles and also recorded
one of the two sacks for UMass.
Marshall returns to action Saturday when it hosts Middle Tennessee
State in a Conference USA contest

Gallia Academy senior Sarah Watts (1136) keeps pace with a pack of runners during Saturday’s Division II girls cross country championships held at
Fortress Obetz in Obetz, Ohio.
Twyman, Watts finish season at state
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com
OBETZ, Ohio — It was
simply an example of the
ups and downs of competition.
River Valley junior Lauren
Twyman earned All-Ohio
honors, while Gallia Academy senior Sarah Watts
struggled to the finish line
on Saturday afternoon at the
2020 Ohio High School Athletic Association Division
II girls cross country championships held at Fortress
Obetz in Franklin County.
The Gallia County duo
were the only athletes from
the Ohio Valley Publishing
area to partake in the annual
state meet this fall, and both
were making repeat appearances at the top level of competition within the Buckeye
State.
A pair of top-10 finishers individually at both the
district and regional meets
this year, Watts and Twyman
were both well within striking distance of top-30 placements — which ultimately
served as the cutoff point for
All-Ohio honorees.
In fact, through two miles
of the race, Watts was 19th
and Twyman was 22nd overall as they headed into the
back stretch of the event.
Twyman eventually
moved ahead of Watts in
the final mile and ultimately
ended up 21st with a time
of 19:11.9. Watts battled
cramps and fatigue over
the final mile and placed
39th overall with a mark of
19:45.0.
Twyman — who placed
82nd last year at state with
a mark of 20:10.3 — moved
up 61 positions in the final
standings this year, as well
as improving her time by
almost a full minute.
And, as the junior noted
afterwards, the experience
from last year’s state final
at National Trail Raceway
paid dividends … even if she
does like the Fortress Obetz
course better.
“This course is a lot bet-

stretch of Saturday’s Division II girls cross country championships held at
Fortress Obetz in Obetz, Ohio.
ter than the one last year.
The experience of the bigger
crowds for this event helped,
but I was a lot more focused
on the race this time. For
sure,” Twyman said. “I’ve
worked a lot harder this
year and I moved up a ton of
spots from last year’s state
meet, so I feel like the work
paid off. My goal was to
earn All-Ohio honors, and I
did that.
“I wish I could have had
more than nine people here
to be part of this with me
today, but I’m also glad that
COVID-19 didn’t shut this
season down. I’m leaving
here with even more motivation to keep improving.”
For Watts, it marks the
end of a stellar 5K career
with the Blue Angels.
Despite her misfortunes
over the final mile, the
senior still moved up 31
spots and shaved 20 seconds
off of her 70th place effort of
20:05.1 last fall.
Watts was disappointed
with the final outcome
afterwards, but she also
acknowledged that she left
everything on the course
through some rather adverse
conditions.
That was something that
Watts was most proud of by
day’s end.
“I knew what I came here
to do and I hit my times
through the first two miles.
I was feeling pretty good
about things going into
that last mile, and then my
body just started working
against me,” Watts said. “I
came here to do my best and
finish up my senior year of
cross country at the state
meet, and that’s ultimately
what I did. Things didn’t go
how I wanted them to, but
I ran my guts out today. It’s
definitely something that I’ll
remember.”
A total of 177 girls participated in the D-2 championship race. Lexington won
the D-2 team title with 113
points, with Oakwood placing second out of 20 teams
with 127 points.
Grace Hartman of Oakwood captured the D-2 individual girls title with a winning time of 18:04.1, which
was one-tenth of a second
ahead of runner-up Ella Gilson of Hawken.
Gilson was the 2019 D-2
state champion and Hartman was the runner-up last
fall.
Woodridge defeated the
19-team field for the D-2
boys team crown after posting a winning mark of 113
points. Waynesville defeated
Unioto by tiebreaker for
the runner-up spot as both
teams finished with 149
points.
Ryan Champa of
Woodridge won the D-2 boys
race with a time of 15:42.9,
while Drennan Akins of
CVCA was runner-up in the
168-competitor field with a
mark of 15:49.8.
East Canton won the Division III boys team title with
126 points. Thomas Caputo
of Fredericktown captured
the D-3 boys title with a
mark of 15:31.5.
West Liberty-Salem won
the D-3 girls team title with
55 points. Caleigh Richards
of Maplewood claimed the
D-3 girls title with a time of
18:22.3.
Lakota West won the Division I boys team title with
73 points. Nathan Moore of
Uniontown Lake secured the
D-1 boys title with a time of
14:59.5.
Centerville won the D-1
girls team title with 128
points. Mia Robillard of
Centerville captured the
D-1 girls title with a mark of
17:58.5.

Since many of the participants are in a very high-risk category and the
virus remaining transmittable, it makes cancelling the event the safest
decision. Although there will not be a parade or program this year, veterans day is a special day to remember all of those veterans who made the
sacrifice and paid the price for our freedom.
GALLIPOLIS — The members of Gallia County Vietnam Veterans
of America Chapter #709 are participating in a caravan of automobiles in Gallipolis on Veterans Day. The group will assemble at the
Bossard Library at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Members will
not be exiting their vehicles. They will tour Second Avenue to Gallipolis City Park and make two laps around the park. Following the
city park the caravan will exit via upper Eastern Avenue to the U.S.
35 bypass.

Flags
From page 1
Steve VanMeter and Commander John Hood of Drew Webster American Legion Post 39
accepted the flags from Morris,
thanking him for the donation.
VanMeter explained that new
flags for all of the flag poles at
the site cost around $300 to
replace. He had previously stated
that the Legion, which maintains
the flags, typically replaces them
twice a year.
VanMeter added that the
Legion welcomes donations
toward the flags, and noted that
a person could sponsor one flag
in honor of a person who has
served in that branch of the military if they would like, or make a
donation toward the display as a
whole.
American Legion Post 39 maintains a Flag Fund which is used
to fund the upkeep and replacement of the flags at the Bridge
of Honor and other locations,
and the purchase of new flags.
Donations may be sent to Drew

Vietnam War.
In 1987, following the
failure of two Supreme
Court nominations,
President Ronald Reagan
announced his choice of
Judge Anthony M. Kennedy, who went on to win
confirmation.
In 1992, the Church of
England voted to ordain
women as priests.
In 1998, President
Clinton ordered warships,
planes and troops to the
Persian Gulf as he laid
out his case for a possible
attack on Iraq. Iraq, meanwhile, showed no sign of
backing down from its
refusal to deal with U.N.
weapons inspectors.
Ten years ago: A disabled Carnival Splendor
cruise liner inched into
San Diego Bay after three
nightmarish days adrift
on the Pacific, bringing
cheers from passengers
who described trying to
pass the time with limited
food, backed-up toilets
and dark cabins. A dispute between the U.S. and
China over currency values
overshadowed a meeting
of Group of 20 nations
in Seoul, South Korea.
Marie Osborne Yeats, a
silent film child star who
was known as Baby Marie
Osborne, died in San Clemente, California, six days
after turning 99.
Five years ago: The
world’s two biggest beer
makers, AB InBev and
SABMiller, announced
they would join forces in a
$107 billion merger to create a company that would
produce almost a third of

Life was good.
During this time, in a
country far away, Adolph
Hitler came into power,
causing much unrest.
Around 1939, Poland
was invaded by Hitler
and France and Britain
declared war on Germany
thus marking the beginning of World War II. On
Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese
aircraft attacked the
major U.S. naval base at
Pearl Harbor in Hawaii,
taking Americans completely by surprise. At
that point the United
States entered the war.
In 1943, Ted Scott
was drafted and joined
the Army Air Corps on
June 10. He received
mechanic’s training at
Kessler Field, Mississippi,
and aerial gunnery training at Laredo, Texas and
Pueblo, Colorado. His
wife, Bertha, would travel
by train to frequently visit
him.
In 1944, at 31 years of
age, Scott was promoted
to the rank of sergeant,
while stationed in Italy,
with a 15th AAF Liberator Squadron, serving as
an aerial engineer gunner.
The Squadron had been
bombing vital Germanheld industrial targets
in Europe. On Friday,
Oct. 20, 1944, the 758th
Squadron took off on a
bombardment mission
against enemy installations in Germany from
their base in Italy, with
one bomber of 10 men
not returning.
Eyewitnesses stated
that they were in a heavy
bombardment mission
over Munich, Germany,
experiencing some very
accurate flak on the way
to the target as well as
on the return trip. Scott’s
plane was flying in Number 7 position of “A”
Flight. Upon return to the
Adriatic Sea, the formation broke up, as his pilot
decided that the trip was
too long with insufficient
fuel. However, at that
point, the Germans “let
go with everything they
had” and the plane was
riddled from nose to tail.
The engines were hit, the
bomber started to dive,
spinning for 20,000 feet,
eventually hitting the
water at a terrific speed,
breaking it in two by the
tail turret.
It was about noon on
the 20th.
Sgt. Paul Estep along
with Second Lt. Art Fierman, Sgt. Harold Lauck,
Sgt. Richard Oldenburg,
Sgt. Harvey (Slick)
Sorensen, and Sgt. Ted
Scott jumped into the
water and swam from the
sinking plane. They soon
found the nose wheel
still afloat, having been
broken completely off by
the impact and they held
to it. All of the men with
exception of Estep were
injured.
By 6 p.m., the waist
gunner, in intense pain
from a possible broken
hip, slipped beneath the
water, and drowned.

Bertha and Ted Scott.
Monument placed in Ted Scott’s memory at Beech Grove Cemetery, Pomeroy, Ohio.
Addendum:
After word of her husband’s death was received,
Bertha Scott or “Auntie
Bertie” as I called her,
moved back to Meigs
County for a period of
time. Eventually she met
and married another
gentleman, and returned
to Stewart, where she
was the postmistress. In
the 35 years that I knew
her, I never once heard
her speak of Ted, and his
pictures, news articles,
letters, and the Purple
Heart remained with her
family in Meigs County.
In 1995, she passed away.
I cannot imagine being 33
years old, happily married
to the former high school
football captain, when
he is drafted, stationed
in a foreign country,
shot down in his plane,
drowning in the sea with
no human remains ever
recovered. Nothing to
bury. Nothing returned
to her but a few personal
effects. Unimaginable to
me but always a possibility. It is the price of war.

game between Middleport and Pomeroy; Veterans Day on November 11,
and 2020 marks the 75th
anniversary of the end of
World War II.

Around 8 p.m., the navigator, slid off the wheel
and into the bitter cold
water. At midnight, with
a crescent moon in the
sky, the ball and nose
turret gunners began to
lose consciousness due
to head injuries, and both
fell off the wheel into
the sea. Estep and Scott
were the last two hanging
on. There was no sign of
help, and the shore was
8-10 miles away. Scott
began to mumble and
lost consciousness and
slipped below the water,
with Estep hanging on.
Estep estimated they
went below the surface
by 20 feet, and in order
to survive, he had to let
go of his last comrade
and swim to the surface
of the water. He had
now been in the water
16 hours, and knew so
because his watch continued to function.
Estep was eventually
found 24 hours later by a
rescue plane looking for
a fighter pilot in the area,
whose plane had also
gone down. They were
in enemy waters. Estep
was then returned to his
home field in Italy — one
remaining man out of
ten that took off to bomb
Germany that October
morning.
On Nov. 5, 1944, a
Western Union Telegram
sent to Scott’s wife Bertha stated “The Secretary
of War desires me to
express his deepest regret
that your husband Sergeant Theodore R. Scott
was killed in action on
twenty October in North
African area. Letter follows J.A. Ulio, The Adjutant General.”
In the letter, to Bertha,
that followed from Major
General N.F. Twining,
US Command, it stated
that “Theodore was killed
while returning from a
combat mission on Oct.
20, 1944. Due to damage received from enemy
anti-aircraft fire over
Venice, Italy, your husband’s plane was forced
I sure miss them every
day and night, seem so all
alone. Our crew always
got along so well. Ted and
I were closer than any of
the rest – I guess because
we were both married
and liked a drink once in
a while. He was a wonderful buddy – I’ll never
forget him. I wish there
was something I could
do, but there isn’t.”
On Dec. 26, 1944, at
the request of the President of the United States,
Sgt. Theodore R. Scott
was awarded the Purple
Heart posthumously.
Although no human
remains were ever found,
a memorial in remembrance of Theodore R.
Scott was placed at Beech
Grove Cemetery in Pomeroy, Ohio.
In 1957, during salvage
operations conducted on
a sunken U.S. B-24 Liberator Bomber at Chioggia, Italy near Venice, in
the Adriatic Sea, human
remains were located and
recovered. Along with
the remains, which were
removed from the main
portion of the fuselage,
were tags, a gold signet
ring, four pairs of US
service shoes, three sets
of life raft paddles, and
U.S. Army Air Corps
equipment. After careful
laboratory analysis, and
due to location of recovery, and personal effects
found, it was determined
that these were remains
of the four servicemen
that did not exit the plane
when it crashed into the
water. The remains of
Second Lt. Arthur Hartman (pilot), Second Lt.
Don Smithey (co-pilot),
Second Lt. Don Collins,
and Sgt. Don Kearney
were returned to the U.S.
for internment in the
Santa Fe National Cemetery in March, 1959.
The lone survivor, Sgt.
Paul (Red) Estep, passed
away May 29, 2000, at
the age of 79. He was
a retired chief master
sergeant for the U.S. Air
Force, and a decorated
veteran of World War
II, Korea, and Vietnam.
According to his wife, of
50 years, he did not talk
to her about the war.
OH-70209160
From page 2
down in the Adriatic Sea.
When the craft hit the
water it broke in half,
the nose sinking immediately. Although Air Sea
Rescue arrived on the
scene shortly thereafter,
no trace of your husband
was found. Theodore’s
personal belongings have
been sent to the Effects
Quartermaster in Kansas
City, Missouri, who will
forward them to you. As
the nose gunner of his
aircraft, your husband
proved that he was well
qualified. His courage,
ability, and forthrightness
have served as a constant
source of inspiration to
all his fellow airmen. In
the name of the comrades
who continue the fight
he so nobly advanced, I
extend sincere sympathy.”
In a note to Bertha,
the lone survivor of the
crash, Sgt. Paul Estep,
personally recalled “Ted,
Slick, Oldenburg, Fierman, Lauck and I got out
of the plane before it sank
beneath the water. All
that was left afloat was
a nose wheel, which we
all held on to. The water
was ice cold. Oldenburg
was the first to go, Lauck
and Slick followed. We
all tried our best to help
them but after so long a
time, we had to let them
go or drown ourselves.
Fierman went about eleven o’clock at night. Ted
and I stayed on until just
before daylight. I kept
telling Ted if we could
just hold on until daylight
maybe someone would
pick us up, but about 4:30
a.m. Ted couldn’t hold on
any longer. I tried with
all my strength to keep
him up but all at once he
sank and took me with
him, then I knew he was
drowning, so I got free
of his grip and swam for
the top. Upon reaching
the top all I saw was the
wheel. Of course it was
dusky and I didn’t see
anything of Ted afterwards. Ted had a slight
cut above his right eye
but nothing serious. If
someone would have
picked us up, everyone
would have made it.
Believe me, I did everything possible. I’m sorry.

istrator James Conrad first
proposed the idea of a Hall of
Fame. Representatives from
the state’s veterans organization were brought together,
and endorsed the creation of
the HOF “for the purpose of
increasing awareness of the lifetime contributions of veterans
after completion of honorable
military service.”
Up to 20 inductees are
selected each year by a committee of representatives from
Ohio’s veterans organizations.
Nominations are solicited from
Ohio citizens, and those chosen
come from all backgrounds,
eras, and branches of service.
Criteria for this honor
includes “those who served
their country honorably and
continue to serve their communities, state and nation
after discharge through volunteerism, advocacy, professional
distinction, public service and
advocacy.”
To date, the Ohio Veterans
Hall of Fame has inducted 895
honorees. Charter members
were inducted in 1992, and
included the six Ohio military
veterans who were elected
president of the United States:
William Henry Harrison,
Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford
B. Hayes, James A. Garfield,
Benjamin Harrison, and William McKinley. Most of Ohio’s

Wallace inducted into Veterans Hall of Fame
By Lorna Hart
Special to OVP
LITHOPOLIS, Ohio — In
a small gathering of family
and friends, Alan Wallace
was inducted into the Ohio
Veterans Hall of Fame. Due
to COVID-19, the ceremony
usually held in early November was canceled, and instead
each recipient was honored
in individual ceremonies.
The Oct. 5 event was held in
Lithopolis, Ohio.
Wallace is originally from
Middleport, Ohio, and still
has ties to the Meigs County
community. His mother Faye
Wallace has resided in Middleport since she returned to
her hometown after serving
as an executive secretary to a
general at the Pentagon during World War II.
Wallace has also partnered
with the Meigs County Council on Aging, organizing two
buses in 2009 and 2010 that
allowed groups to participate
in Wreaths Across America,
a movement to cover all veterans’ grave markers with a
Christmas wreath. “Wreaths”
mission is to “coordinate
wreath-laying ceremonies at
Arlington National Cemetery
and other veterans cemeteries around the country” in an
effort to “remember our fallen
heroes.”
Wallace was guest speaker
during Racine’s 911 Memorial
Service and served as Grand
Marshal in Racine’s Party
in the Park Parade in 2018.
During his presentation he
recounted the events of 9/11
from his perspective as a firefighter at the Pentagon.
Wallace saw firsthand the
plane crash into the Pentagon
on the morning of Sept. 11,
2001. He had been reassigned
that morning from his post
at Arlington Cemetery to the
Pentagon to fill in for another
firefighter. He and another
firefighter were at the helipad
awaiting the arrival of President George W. Bush at noon.
He said they were discussing
the events happening in New
York, when according to Wallace’s account, he noticed
movement out of the corner
of his eye.
In disbelief, both men saw a
plane flying straight at them
from the west. He described
it as “some kind of surreal
3-D video game.” By the time
they saw the plane it was 150
yards away and only a few
feet off the ground coming
directly toward them. The
plane would later be identified as American Airlines
flight 77.
Although he sustained
second degree burns to his
neck and arms, and a shoulder injury, he and the other
firefighters went into action
to rescue survivors trapped
inside the Pentagon. The
attack happened at 9:37 a.m.,
and Wallace said he did not
know about the collapse of
the Twin Towers in New York
City until around 2:30 a.m.
the next day.

Alan Wallace is pictured with his award alongside Ohio Department of Veterans Services Director Deborah Ashenhurst. Ashenhurst also served as emcee of the
ceremony.
His fire coat hangs in the
9/11 Memorial Museum in
New York City.
In an interview with Wallace about receiving a place
in the Hall of Fame, he said
when his friend indicated he
wanted to recommend him
for the honor, he told them he
wasn’t interested.
“Compared to some other
people, I didn’t feel deserving,
I didn’t feel eligible to receive
that kind of award, but my
friend kept having meetings
with me to try and persuade
me to collect my information
so he could submit the application.”
Wallace finally capitulated
and his friend submitted the
application. Wallace was one
of 20 chosen by the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame committee
from 135 applications.
Following is the bio from
Wallace’s Ohio Veterans Hall
of Fame induction, courtesy
of the Ohio Department of
Veterans Affairs:.
Alan first committed himself
to serving others while in the
military, during which time
he cared for sick and wounded
soldiers as well as civilians
at the Naval Support Activity
Hospital, the largest combat
casualty hospital in the Republic of South Vietnam. Since
then, throughout the past 50
years, he has continued to
serve. He worked in the operating room at Grant Medical
Center in Columbus, Ohio, for
three years and became a volunteer fireman with the Bloom
Township Fire Department. He
joined the Rickenbacker Air
National Guard Base (ANGB)
Fire Department, where he
worked for 12 years. Following
this assignment, he worked for
the Fire Department at Fort
Myer in Virginia. During that
time, Alan, while preparing
for the arrival of a military
helicopter, witnessed the crash

shares his experiences by regularly participating in 9/11
Memorial services to commemorate the day and to ensure

U.S. Marines: Celebrating a band of brothers
100-year old veteran honored
By Beth Sergent
bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com
POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — U.S. Marine Corps veteran Ray Stith
celebrated his 100th birthday back in September with a parade, proclamations in his honor and a visit from Medal of Honor recipient,
and fellow West Virginian, Hershel “Woody” Williams.
The celebration was spearheaded by his brothers (and sisters) in
the Marine Corps League Mason-Gallia-Meigs Detachment 1180.
During the parade lineup near Stith’s home on Birch Avenue,
Williams, who is the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient of the
Battle of Iwo Jima, spoke to the Point Pleasant Register, explaining
why he felt he needed to attend the celebration.
“Not everybody reaches to be 100 years old and besides, he’s a
Marine, and we Marines stick together,” Williams said. “So I felt
obligated to come and celebrate this day for him, not with him, but

for him.”
When asked about his feelings regarding the importance of honoring veterans, particularly at this point in time, he said, “Especially
right now, we need to get back to more patriotism than we’ve…, well,
we’ve lost it,” Williams said. “I think the veterans are the individuals
that if we can all come together and begin thinking together, we can
have a tremendous influence on the future of this country.”
Lining up behind Williams were motorcycles, cars, trucks, vans,
American flags and signs that read “thank you” and “happy birthday.”
Once Williams arrived at Stith’s home, the two visited and shared
stories, watching the parade of well wishers.
Stith joked it only took him 100 years to receive all this recognition.

SALUTE TO VETERANS 2020

Marine Corps League M-G-M Detachment
Continuing service
to country, community
By Dean Wright
Special to OVP
OHIO VALLEY — Since the history of American
Marines was first detailed during the Revolutionary
War and formally recognized as a part of the U.S.
Department of Navy June, 30, 1834, thousands of
Marines continue to serve in their communities and
honor the sacrifices of their colleagues abroad.
Marine Corps League Meigs-Gallia-Mason
Detachment 1180 continues the tradition of service
at home, uniting Marines and supporters.
According to Detachment 1180 Commandant
Jim Doss, the local organization was chartered Aug.
15, 2005. The group is made of 33 members and is
one of 14 detachments in the Marine Corps League
Department of West Virginia.
“We visit the Hershel Woody Williams VA Hospital in Huntington, W.Va. at least four to five times
a year where, at various times, we hand out apples
and oranges, $200 in doughnuts, $250 in pizza,
candy and gifts at Easter and various toilet articles
that all veterans need,” said Doss of some of the
detachment’s activities. “We visit nursing homes for
the veterans there and have given blanket throws,
hats related to each veterans’ service and two to
three pairs of socks, which they are always in need.”
Doss noted that it was not uncommon to see the
detachment and its supporters in parades in Point
Pleasant, W.Va. and Gallipolis, Ohio. He noted that
some of the detachment’s activities have had to be
modified due to COVID-19 challenges.
“We do funeral honors for deceased Marines at
the request of the family and other veterans when
requested,” said Doss.
“We celebrate each year the birthday of the
Marine Corps, which is Nov. 10, with a Marine
Corps Ball,” said Doss.
The earliest form of American Marines were
founded Nov. 10, 1775 and 2020 will mark 245
years of service for the military branch.
“We help mostly Marines, but we also help veterans,” said Detachment 1180 Chief of Staff Ron
Wroblewski. “
Wroblewski noted that any who wished to join
the detachment as an associate member had to be
an honorably discharged Marine, an FMF corpsmen or FMF chaplain. Wroblewski or Doss can be
respectively reached at either 740-446-1795 or 740441-5638.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Spc.
Wade Jarrell was welcomed
home at the end of October
after nearly 11 months of serving the United States Army in
Cuba.
Jarrell, a 2014 graduate from
Gallia Academy High School,
joined the Army National
Guard in 2015 and is part of
the Military Police. Jarrell
deployed to Guantanamo Bay
in Cuba
“I chose to join the Army
because I wanted to be a part
of something that was bigger
than myself,” Jarrell said. He
also has family, including his
stepfather, who served in the
military.
“It’s something to be a part
of and serve our country,” Jarrell said.
Jarrell said through the
Army, he has learned leadership skills, integrity and how to
be a part of a team.
Jarrell enjoys talking to
people about the military and
encourages everyone to considering joining.
“I think it’s good for everybody,” Jarrell said. “It has its
times — deployment was hard
with being away from family
— but the end reward is awesome.”
When he recently arrived
back in town, Jarrell was welcomed into Gallipolis, Ohio
with signs from businesses and

individuals.
“I told my mom whenever
I came home, I didn’t want a
big homecoming, but the small
town of Gallipolis made it a big
deal,” Jarrell said. “I felt loved
with so much support from
them.”
Jarrell’s six-year contract
ends in August 2021, and as of
now, his plan is to re-enlist for
two more years.
