Veterans Honored at Frackville

Nearly 70 staff members attended SCI Frackville's annual staff Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 8 in the facility's gym.

Superintendent Kathy Brittain opened the ceremony by honoring all the veterans working at Frackville, as well as all those members of the military who are currently deployed or have served in the past. Deputy Superintendent for Facility Management Lori White continued honoring those how served before retired Frackville Chaplain Larry Liggett, who served with the Marines in Desert Storm, was introduced as the guest speaker.

Liggett outlined his experiences with Mortuary Affairs and how it connected back to his hometown. He spoke eloquently of his experiences and what this country owes to the sacrifices by the men and women of the military to give us the freedoms we enjoy. Liggett ended with a prayer for all veterans prior to a moment of silence observed for the fallen as taps played.
