Augustans gather at All-Wars monument for 157th observance of Memorial Day
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)- Several ceremonies are taking place across the CSRA for Memorial Day, including the annual gathering at the All-Wars monument. This annual tradition in the Garden City brings community members, veterans, and those currently serving together, to pause and reflect on the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. The Augusta Chapter of the Military Order of the World Wars hosting veterans across several military branches and those currently serving. State leaders remember our fallen soldiers for showing what it means to be an American. 'These values have made our military the greatest and most lethal military force in history,' said Congressman Rick Allen. 'It's service above self. You never leave a soldier on the battlefield, and you're willing to make the greatest sacrifice—your life—to save another.' Nearly a million and a half veterans lost their lives in combat. Mayor Garnett Johnson joined Congressman Allen with remarks, remembering three of those heroes who called Augusta home. 'You think about Jimmy Dyess, who lost his life during World War II. Nathaniel Johnson, who was a Glenn Hills High School graduate and played football, lost his life in 2003 during the Iraq War. And then there's Joseph Bowen, who lost his life during the Korean War, and his remains were not so long ago brought back to Augusta,' said Johnson. 'A lot of people say it's the unofficial start of summer—and I don't see it that way. It's a day we honor those who made that sacrifice so we can enjoy our freedoms Sunday through Saturday, 24/7, and 365.' District 5 Commissioner Don Clark also served in the Armed Forces. He and others are remembering the ones who gave it all for the freedoms Americans enjoy every day. 'It means a lot as a veteran that served to be honored—to observe with folks that are no longer with us. But their families and us continue to carry their legacies forward,' said Clark. 'You can't say no, don't go to a ball game, or no, don't have a hot dog, don't do that. That's important to bond with your family and friends. But, just remember—the people who went out and didn't come home made it possible for you to do that,' said Sergeant Major Michael Culbertson. Clark also continues to advocate for a veterans cemetery to come to Augusta—an effort that's been ongoing for more than 5 years. 'We have a thriving community of veterans, of active-duty service members. The only thing missing is a suitable resting place where we can collect everyone together,' said Clark. 'I think it's long overdue, and we just have to keep fighting to ensure that it comes to fruition.' Monday also marks the 157th observance of Memorial Day, dating back to 1868. That's why those attending say honoring the lives that were lost is a tradition that must continue. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Rep. Rick Allen reads to children, responds to Department of Education staff cuts
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Georgia Congressman Rick Allen read to students at Lamar-Milledge Elementary School on Wednesday for National March Into Literacy Month and shared his thoughts on recently announced job cuts to the Department of Education. Allen said teachers are aware of the best way to educate students and added that the federal government will continue to fund education and assist teachers. 'We know parents want to get more involved in their children's education. We know that parents were not happy with the decisions that came from the Department of Education,' said Allen. 'Every state's different, every community is different, and it's important, and of course school choice is a 80/20, polls 80/20 and again. I think the book said that the spotted animal found its place. Well, students are the same way.' Allen said children who are not reading proficiently by the third grade are less likely to graduate from high school on time, which is part of the reason he wanted to focus on literacy while out of session this week. 'I'm trying to promote literacy and really motivating young people to read, because that's really the key to education,' said Allen. 'Obviously, reading skills, math and others, but mainly reading is. And the reason for that is if you're not reading at a third-grade level, when you finish the third grade, you're not you're likely not to graduate from high school.' Students at Lamar-Milledge Elementary School also received books at the event. Photojournalist credit: Dania Alawir Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
