August 14, 2024

SEARCY, ARK. – The Searcy Seventh-day Adventist Church celebrated Memorial Day with a potluck luncheon. Becky Evans and Debbie Miller decorated tables with patriotic tablecloths, hats, flags and flower arrangements. 

There were four individuals representing the military: Jim Miller, a retired staff sergeant, served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force; Abie Nembhardt and Ismael Castaneda are currently serving in the U.S. Air Force, with their base located in Jacksonville, Ark.; Herman Clements served in the U.S. Air Force on the island of Okinawa during the Korean War. He was a personnel officer managing the activity of servicemen flying bombers in and out of Korea, a job that required a top-secret government clearance and organizational skills.
