We would like to take a moment to highlight a story from one of our traveling servicemen. U.S. Army Col. Garry L. Thompson, son of Don Thompson, recently was awarded the U.S. Army’s Bronze Star Medal with the oak leaf cluster for his exceptionally meritorious service while serving as Army aviation team chief and senior advisor to the Iraqi Army Aviation Command from July 8, 2012, to June 13. Raised in Lodge #309 in Frankfurt, Ohio in 1989,
Garry will soon be a 25 year Ohio Mason. As he travels during his service, he always attends lodge wherever he is located. At one point in time he even attended the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas lodge which is reputed to have been attended by then President Harry S. Truman. We would like to thank Col. Thompson for his service, congratulate him for his recent commendation and acknowledge his dedication to the Fraternity through his lodge attendance regardless of where he is stationed.
