War photos and memorabilia from local veterans will be on display at the Bethany Celebration this weekend, June 24 and 25, at Crowder Park.

The American Legion of Bethany has sponsored this event to honor veterans in the area.

Terry Muzzy is assembling uniforms, weapons, photos and a variety of items loaned by families of Bethany area veterans.

“The response has been great,” Terry said, noting he already has 75 photographs and he is still taking calls from people with items to display.

With help from Steve Sowers Muzzy has assembled hundreds of military items ranging from the civil war to present day.

“Bethany American Legion is also one of the oldest in the nation,” Muzzy said. That long time commitment (Chartered in February 1920) makes the Veterans display so important to share with the next generation.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
