Harry Woolen is a veteran’s Veteran and American Legion Post #68 presented him with his 70 year membership pin on Wednesday, April 3.
A good crowd joined wife Bette, family and friends at the Sullivan American Legion to celebrate the event. Post 68 Commander Bob Sims made the official presentation which included a certificate commemorating Woolen’s service.
What’s a celebration without a cake, which was baked by his daughter. While operating a busy television repair business and volunteering at the American Legion and VFW, Harry and Betty (who passed way in 2008) raised five children: Charles Michael, Cynthia Diane, Harry Wayne, Vicki Jo and Lori Louise in Sullivan.
Children and grandchildren filled the Legion with stories, food and celebration of a man who not only served Sullivan but also served in two wars.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
