Mayor Honors Afghan Vets

March 21, 2012

Last night, Mayor Gillespie and the City of Prattville honored these military service members for their dedicated service to our country and specifically their tours in Afghanistan.

"It's just an honor for me to stand up here with them and read this Commendation to them to recognize them for the duties they have provided for us, the sacrifices they've made for us," stated Mayor Bill Gillespie, Jr.
