On November 10, Larry Oglesby, pastor of GCI’s Columbus, Georgia congregation, was honored during Veterans Day ceremonies in Columbus.
Larry, who served in the Army from 1974-1988, was placed on the Army’s permanent disability retired list due to blindness in both eyes from a cause deemed service-connected.
During the Veterans Day ceremony, Larry was given special recognition by Fort Benning commander Major General McMasters and Columbus mayor Teresa Tomlinson.
Following the ceremony, Larry was interviewed by the Columbus Ledger Enquirer. The picture of Larry at right appeared on the newspaper’s cover on November 12, which happens to be Larry’s birthday. To read the article, click here.
