Georgia's Adjutant General Speaks at Berry College
Maj. Gen. William T. Nesbitt, Georgia's Adjutant General, was the guest speaker for Veterans Day Thursday at Berry College.
Nesbitt spoke during a program in the Spruill Ballroom at Krannert Center, saying, "The sad reality of our time is, we are losing our World War II veterans at a rate of 798 per day, an average of 16 every day in Georgia alone.
And, though our hearts ache to say it, the torch of what it means to be a veteran has passed to a new generation. Certainly, our great nation has seen many conflicts since the Second World War. But with most of our Korean or Vietnam War veterans in either senior or retired positions, the American people are now looking ahead to today’s generation of Soldiers to see what tomorrow will bring."
