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.
