St. Johns Veterans Council receives County Commissioners Proclamation
On Nov. 3, the Veterans Council of St. Johns County met with the Board of County
Commissioners to receive a proclamation from the Commissioners honoring our Veterans. As we
have done every year in the past, we presented the BCC with gifts. This year, we presented each
of the Commissioners and Administration with a copy of LTC Greg Moore's book, “Sacred Ground:
The Military Cemetery at St. Augustine,” that he wrote before his passing. Alison Simpson,
Command Historian, Florida National Guard, wrote an inscription in the front cover “In
remembrance of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, and in honor of our nation's
veterans, please accept this book on behalf of LTC (Retired) Gregory A. Moore, deceased, as a
token of appreciation for your service to this community and as a source for inspiration to learn
more about our great country and the men and women who made it so.”
LTC Greg Moore’s widow Nancy Moore was in attendance for the presentation.

The Maria Jefferson DAR Chapter
"As part of our mission to preserve and promote American history, education, and patriotism,
DAR is honored to share the stories and work of so many deserving individuals, whether it's over
a long professional career or students who give us such hope for the future of our great country."
The Patriot Award from the Maria Jefferson DAR Chapter was awarded to Veterans Council
Chairman Bill Dudley. This is a National Award from their Headquarters in Washington.
The Maria Jefferson Chapter President said “It was an honor and privilege for the Maria Jefferson
Chapter to present Bill Dudley with this award. God bless you for all you do.”
Upon receiving this award Chairman Dudley said “thank you so much for this award. It was a
total surprise. When I got home tonight, I found out my wife was aware I was going to receive the
award you presented. This really has a special meaning to me as patriotism to our country and our
fellow veterans means so much to me. It's my north star and energizes me daily. In my quiet time
in prayer each morning I ask the Lord to let me help at least one veteran today. Usually, He gives
me more than I ask for and that's a blessing.”
