Military families are resilient. That was one message from the Veteran's Day ceremony keynote speaker Gennifer "G.G." Booth in Junction City. "You learn to adjust, to make the best of unfamiliar situations, to build relationships and to find strength in one another."
Booth noted that commitment can sometimes mean putting your plans and comfort aside for something bigger than yourself. "True leadership is about what you are willing to give. It is about showing up , standing up for something, supporting others and making a difference beyond ourselves."
During the program members who served in the different military services were recognized. There was also a presentation honoring the late Jim Jensen, who was a prominent leader in veteran's affairs and a former Geary County sheriff. Jensen was remembered for his strength and courage. Jim Jensen passed away in July.
The program was sponsored by the Geary County Veterans Alliance.
