The Star Spangled Salute is brought to you by
Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Vietnam Army Veteran Ron Whitney. A graduate of Emporia St. in 1968, Ron joined the Military rather than waiting to be drafted. Ron served one tour in Vietnam, remembering it to be hot and dusty and sandy. When he returned state side, the welcome wasn’t exactly warm. It was that, which inspired him to help other Veterans. He wants to make sure that when they come home they receive the welcome home they deserve. He continues to help as the Commander of the Emporia American Legion and he is also a member of the VFW. Thank you for helping other Veterans and THANK YOU Ron for your service.
