American Legion Post 41 organized a Welcome Home and Remembrance Day Celebration as an expression of appreciation for those who served the country in World War II. It was held at the Horse Show Grounds and attended by over 5,000 people. Over one thousand men and women from Clarke County had served in the Armed Forces during World War II--nearly 20% of the counties adult population. Forty men paid the ultimate price and died in the war.
