(91-eighth grade students were presented with the Usery Ribbon in remembrance of The Honorable W.J. "Bill" Usery, Jr.)

On Monday, October 2, 91-Eighth grade students in Georgia Military College’s Prep School were awarded the Usery Ribbon in honor of The Honorable W. J. “Bill” Usery, Jr. The Usery Ribbon is included as a gift through the Usery Legacy Fund and is only presented to 8th grade students who successfully reviewed and discussed a biography pamphlet about the life and service of Secretary Usery. The Usery Ribbon symbolizes the first part of the GMC slogan “Duty-Honor-Country” and “Character Above All.” GMC’s President, LTG William B. Caldwell, IV, pinned a ribbon on each 8th grade student.
