JSU Gives Back to Area Veterans
01/06/2017
Before closing for winter break, JSU spread a little holiday cheer to some of our nation’s heroes.
President John and Dr. Pamela Beehler donated poinsettias to the Colonel Robert L. Howard State Veterans Home in Pell City, home to aging or chronically disabled US military veterans. The beautiful red and white plants were delivered by the cadets and staff of JSU’s ROTC.
Named in honor of a highly decorated US Army Special Forces officer and Medal of Honor recipient, Col. Robert L. Howard, the veterans home opened in 2012 as a partnership between the State of Alabama, federal government and private industry.
