Saturday, Dec 5th members of University Veterans Post 360 helped to conduct a wreath laying ceremony at Williams Creek Cemetery to honor the veterans that are laid to rest there. Williams Creek Cemetery had been neglected for several years till Sue Woodford Faulk took it upon herself to clean it up. University Veterans Post 360 got involved helping back in October and Commander Clifton Morlan was asked by Sue if it would be ok to lay wreaths on the veterans gravesite. Commander Morlan stated that would be a wonderful thing to do so Sue and Commander Morlan started planning a Wreath Laying Ceremony. It took a lot of volunteers from University Veterans Post 360 and the community but we had a very successful event. The event was covered by Channel 8, 13 and 59 and aired several times over the weekend. Sue and University Veterans Post 360 both received recognition from Mayor Joe Hogsett’s Office.

Commander Clifton Morlan had the honor to present Cadet Alexander Clausis with the Spring 2020 Cadet of the Semester Award. This award was postponed due to COVID-19 and the University going virtual before the end of the Spring 2020 Semester. On behalf of then entire Post congratulations to Part-Time Officer Cluasis and best of luck when you go full time with IUPD in January. In the picture below are the following left to right: Post member & IUPD Chief Doug Johnson, Post Commander Clifton Morlan, IUPD Cadet Clausis, and Post member & IUPD LT Max Renolds.
