Defense Day Program Set for Vernon July Fourth
Vernon prepares a Defense Day observance on July 4 under a Texas proclamation led by Mayor Harry Mason who chairs the state program committee. Adjutant General Mark McGee also issues a Texas wide call for Legion posts to participate, with patriotic speeches planned and support from local officials and the National Guard. The program mirrors last year’s successful event, though the local unit will not participate due to an Austin camp assignment. The muster aims to highlight national defense history and the Army structure, with the Governor appointing the State Muster Committee including Maj. Gen. John A. Thinlen Brig. Gen. Wolters and Col. W. B. Futtle among others.
