M.O.M.S. Formed, Seeks Pictures of GHS Alums in the Military

A group has been formed locally to give female relatives of servicemen and servicewomen the opportunity to come together for sharing, support and discussion. In turn, the group is now looking to Galionites across the country for assistance with an important new project.
According to group founder Nancy Green, the idea for M.O.M.S. – Mothers of Military Servicemen/women — came to be when she realized that four staff persons with Galion City Schools would have sons deployed at the same time. The group has now expanded to include nine women, and meetings have been transferred from the GHS Media Center to Varsity Grille on the second Tuesday of each month. These nine women now include a wife and girlfriend of soldiers in the field.
“My opinion was that the only people who could understand exactly what we are going through is someone who is doing the same thing!,” Nancy recently shared.
The group has undertaken a project with the support of GHS Principal Fritz Caudle involving the creation of a display area in the cafetorium with pictures of GHS graduates currently serving in the US military. This would include not only those deployed, but also those active in the Guard or Reserves, or otherwise employed with the military. With this project in mind, M.O.M.S. is seeking 5 x 7 pictures of Galion graduates together with their name, rank, and branch of service. The picture need not depict the person in full uniform, but it is asked that the photo be in military wear and/or on duty.
If you have a photo and information, please send them to Nancy Green at: 5792 State Route 19, Galion. She is also willing to arrange for photo pick-up, and can be reached via telephone at (419) 468-3296. She is also available to answer questions about the group and its purpose.
