Four Cass County cadets provided honor and prestige to a remarkable event honoring those who have served to protect our country. The Cass County Historical Society hosted the Vietnam Art Exhibit and Veteran’s Recognition on Saturday, January 17, 2009, and the Cass County Composite Squadron Honor Guard presented the colors for the program. About a dozen Vietnam veterans have been interviewed for the Society’s Veterans Oral History Project. Several of these former soldiers briefly shared memorable experiences. Artist James Davis Nelson and photographer Ival Lawhan, Jr., provided vivid displays of their work throughout the Harrisonville Branch Library. Cadets participating in the honor guard were: C/2Lt Jordan Hargis, C/2Lt Daniel Caron, C/CMSgt Karra Miller, and C/A1C Malachi Hargis.
