Post 1 honors Boys and Girls State participants The Fred H. Sexton American Legion Post 1 hosted a banquet on Oct. 10 to congratulate recent Boys and Girl State graduates The boys spent a week at Anderson University learning about government, team work and camaraderie. They set up fictitious cities, elected leaders and learned about governing. They worked hard and learned a lot. Many feel they made lifelong friends and would like to go back. Post 1 sponsored 40 young men under the leadership of Judge Gene Morehead, long time Legionnaire. Each participant spoke to the gathering about their experience and thanked the Legion for sponsoring them. They called it a life changing experience. Post Commander Don Handley presented each of the young men with a certificate, reflecting their participation in Boys State. The young ladies went to Presbyterian College in Clinton for the same week. There were two girls from Johnsonville High School and two from The Kings Academy. The experiences were the same – life changing. Legion Auxiliary President Vickie Gimla read a moving email from Madison Graham from Johnsonville describing her experience and how grateful that she was for the opportunity to attend Girls State. “It was fine community event that showcased some of our future leaders. The catered meal by Rogers BBQ was outstanding and the students and families had a wonderful time,” commented Kenneth M. Curran, Post 1 Public Relations Officer.
