Veterans honored during Greensburg, North Decatur game

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – Several local veterans were honored during the Greensburg and North Decatur girls basketball game on Friday. 

Veterans Appreciation Night was organized by the American Legion Post 129, Decatur County Community Foundation, Decatur County Memorial Hospital, Decatur County Veteran Service Office, and Gilliland-Howe Funeral Home.

Each veteran received free admission and they were also recognized on the court between the JV and varsity game. 

The game marked one of several initiatives that have taken place in Decatur County for Veterans Day this week. 

On the court, it wasn’t much of a contest as the varsity Lady Pirates beat North Decatur 54-17.
