Campaign seeks Medal of Freedom for GI Bill author Colmery
Grantham University leaders including Joseph McGrath push a grassroots nomination for Harry W. Colmery, World War I veteran and author of the 1944 Servicemen's Readjustment Act, for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The effort follows Colmery’s foundational role aiding veterans education. A separate police report from Parsons notes a 19-year-old Columbus man charged with first degree murder in the death of 20-year-old William Stephens, with the suspect injured and held without bond in Cherokee County Jail.
