SHARING FUTURE PLANS: Randy Young and Lt. Col. McCloud stand in the foyer of the Lodge, following their presentation.

THOMASVILLE- At the Thomasville Masonic Lodge #369 F & AM Family Night, guest speakers Lieutenant Colonel Stan McCloud, retired U.S. Air Force and ROTC Director and Randy Young, voice of the Thomas County Yellow Jackets, were invited to attend and speak.

These gentlemen came and spoke about the Thomas County/Thomasville Veterans Museum. The T.L. Spence American Legion Post #31 has been repurposed to become the Veterans Museum here in Thomasville.

“Everyone has a story and this museum will allow that story to be told,” Young explained to the crowd.

Going back as far as the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and through WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, these stories will be told in the Museum with displays and individual modules for every soldier or unit served.

While the project will be quite an undertaking, the Masonic Lodge was excited to hear about the history of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines mentioned in the presentation. They said the evening was full of history and they look forward to the future Museum that will honor the heroes among them.
