Fort Jackson inducted five into its Hall of Fame in a ceremony held April 22 at the NCO Club. The inductees made up the combined 2020-2021 HOF class.
The post’s hall of fame was established to “recognize and honor persons who have made an indelible mark on the Fort Jackson community.”
Each inductee will be included on the Hall of Fame Wall in the post headquarters.
The photos on the wall won’t be enough for the post to thank them, said Fort Jackson Commander Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr. It won’t be enough to pay a bill for everything that you’ve done every single year. But know that we greatly appreciate the fact that you ve continually given, that you continue to sacrifice, and your selflessness is beyond reproach. My hope is that today comes close.”
11 WIESBADEN, Germany – Every year we celebrate National Volunteer Week in April and here at Wiesbaden, the garrison recognizes that many of the services the community receives would not be possible without volunteers. “The spirit of volunteering is setting the time aside to put good intentions into helpful action. It keeps humanity connected and reminds us that no one can go through life without some form of outside assistance,” said Senior Religious Affairs NCO, Sgt. 1st Class Gary Durham, with the Religious Support Office on Clay Kaserne.
Durham explained that the RSO has between 30-50 volunteers on a weekly basis doing anything from helping to set up sound for religious services or singing to planning and coordinating Vacation Bible School or leading a small group in discussion on a spiritual topic.
