There have been several posts on this blog about Nettie Bullis's Uncle John Lapham Bullis who fought in the Civil War and continued his military career on the western border. His contributions were recognized in many ways, including the naming of Camp Bullis in his honor.
We thought of John Lapham Bullis this week when we heard about the Friends of Macedon Public Library scheduling a June 19 presentation of the Wounded Warrior Project. Mr. Bullis, we feel sure, would have supported such a project in his day, not only because he himself was wounded in the Civil War but also because he was so conscientious about caring for his comrades who suffered such a fate.
We encourage you to come to this presentation on June 19, 6 PM, here in Macedon Public Library's Community Room. LCpl. J.M. Gonzalez will explore the project's mission (to honor and empower Wounded Warriors) and its purpose (awareness, enlist public support, help injured servicemen and women aid and assist each other, and provide unique and direct programs and services. He will also include general background on the organization.
We hope to see you on June 19. And in the meantime, please tell others about this presentation.
