Oct. 18 was a day that I will never forget because of the Sedalia Democrat’s own Latisha Koetting.
She nominated me for the 2012 Lieutenant Governor’s Veterans Service Award and Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder came to Sedalia to honor this “Old Soldier” — and what an honor it is. I humbly accepted it on behalf of all who have served and are serving from this area. I do not consider it just an honor for me.
