November is for Veterans in WV

October 17, 2009:  November is a month that West Virginia honors Veterans.    I received the following message from Maxine Weser, Director of the Bice-Ferguson Memorial Museum in Shinnston:  On Friday November 6th, we will have a West Virginia Humanities program at 7 pm.  The portrayal will be of Col. Ruby Bradley of Spencer, WV...the most decorated female soldier of WW II.  Of course the Veterans Day parade will be at 11 am. The program at the Museum will begin at noon on November 11th..  We will honor all Veterans.  The 2 honorees this year are Carl Junior Nuzum and Floyd Fullen. Refreshments are served at all programs.A reminder to all those with a valid military ID that reservations are to be made at the individual bed & breakfasts (all of whom are members of the MountainState Association of Bed & Breakfasts) for a FREE night lodging with breaklfast the night of November 10, 2009. It is our way of saying Thank You for your service in a way that counts. The Gillum House wants our Veterans to be here  in Shinnston when the avtivities start. All three of our rooms are available to a Veteran (or Active Duty).
