## Resource

On July 4th, a 100-year-old WWII Navy veteran, Jerry Smith, led Harrison, Ohio’s 250th birthday parade — a living tribute to the Greatest Generation. Serving aboard the USS Cotton in the Pacific, he vividly recalled sweeping mines in Tokyo Bay and helping troops land safely during perilous operations. Though memories fade, his legacy endures as his community honors him — and all those who gave so much. His quiet pride in still being here to witness these moments reminds us: their sacrifice is etched into America’s soul.
