Today, I salute 98-year-old World War II Veteran George Horne. Recently, George got to throw out a very special first pitch at the American Legion State Baseball Tournament in Columbia, Tennessee, honoring both his service and the 100th anniversary of American Legion Baseball. In 1944, George was drafted as a teenager into the military and went straight on to Europe to fight Germany. After the military, his service to the community included dedicating 50 years to teaching Sunday School, and he also served in the National Guard for nearly five decades. Thank you for sharing your story, George, and THANK YOU for your service.
