The old reliable, George Graf of Palmyra, Va., was the only person to recognize the latest Mystery Photo. It was sent in by Lou Camerio of Lilburn and was really not as hard as it might seem. Graf says: “That’s the Winged Victory 1st Army Division Monument and Old Executive Office Building in Presidents Park, Washington D.C. The 1st Infantry Division is a combined arms division of the United States Army, and is the oldest continuously serving in the Regular Army. It has seen service since its organization in 1917 during World War I. It was officially nicknamed “The Big Red One.” In July 2006 the division was withdrawn from Germany back to Fort Riley, Kan., leaving only 2nd (Dagger) Brigade in Schweinfurt, Germany until 2008 when the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division reflagged as the 2nd Brigade.”
Consul General of Canada visits Georgia Gwinnett College Campus
Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) student Myra Beamon (left) “got up close and personal” with GGC’s special guest, Canada’s Consul General Louise Blais, last week. Beamon is a member of the GGC Four Pillars Society and was among a group of about 75 students who had an opportunity to hear Blais speak. Blais shared a great deal of information about her career and her role as Canada’s Consul General. She also talked with the students about trade between the U.S. and Canada as well as the nations’ cultural differences. She also entertained a robust question and answer session with the students.
