Detailed Schedule
7:00 am - Salute to “Woody” Williams, Tom Bennett, Bob Hartsock
On Memorial Day Month as we memorialize our veterans, we recall 3 of our veterans who won the Congressional Medal of Honor in the 2nd World and Vietnam War. They were all inducted in Fairmont at the former Recruiting Station, located on Gaston Ave. 159 pictures and 81 video clips are used to tell the story. “Woody” is seen as he discusses his life and award at East Fairmont High School, on the History Channel, and on a special WV PBS program on “West Virginians at War.” Tom Bennett’s life is narrated by D.D. Meighen, who worked for seven years at the Bennett House, the ecumenical campus ministry center at West Virginia University. Bennett was killed in Vietnam on Feb. 9, 1969 and was awarded post humorously the Medal of Honor. He became only the second person EVER to receive this award as a conscientitious objector. His objection to war was well stated, but his desire to serve his country led him to enlist as a medic. A dorm at WVU, a bridge leading into Morgantown, the campus ministry facility at WVU, and a youth center at a military base in Hawaii is named for him. The third inductee is Staff Sgt. Robert W. Hartsock of Cumberland, Maryland. He was killed in Vietnam Feb. 23, 1969. In addition, portions of a military funeral for Frank Fleming, Jr. at the Grafton National Cemetery, is viewed. A 1984 video of a slideshow done by children and youth at a summer camp studying peace and justice is also seen. A portion of a concert by Vocal Tapestry in 2009 featuring a salute to the various military branches is featured. Military pictures around Fairmont taken by Creed Holden are interspersed. Our thanks to West Virginia PBS “West Virginians At War” (shown in 1994), the Take a Veteran to School Video, and portions of the Vietnam War on You Tube for use in this documentary. Our thanks to pictures used of Tom Bennett from the book “Peaceful Patriot” by Bonni McKeown. Thanks also to Robert Miller, uncle of Tom Bennett, for his faithfulness in preserving the history.
