Club donates to veteran's ceremony

Posted

MOUNT MORRIS – The Mount Morris Community Women’s Club is proud to be a sponsor in honor of one of their own members, Jeannine Price, at the “2018 Parade of Heroes – A Monumental Salute to the Veterans.”
The club gave a donation to the Rochelle Township High School Marching Band which was chosen to represent the state of Illinois at the Veteran’s Day weekend ceremonies in Washington, D.C. The ceremonies will honor those who served during three pivotal periods in history of the U.S.: World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War. This year also marks the 75th anniversary of WWII.
Retired Commander Jeannine Price’s name appears on the banner, which the band will carry in the parade in Washington, D.C. during the Veteran’s Day ceremonies.
Price served 23 years in the Navy Nurse Corp during the Vietnam and Desert Storm Eras. She is a graduate of Mount Morris High School and a 1970 graduate of Mennonite Hospital School of Nursing in Bloomington, where upon graduation she enlisted in the Navy Nurse Corp and served from 1970 until 1993, retiring with the rank of Commander.
