Library to Host Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. John Borling for Veteran's Day Commemoration
The program will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11. Space is limited.
Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. John Borling will be the guest speaker on Veteran's Day at the Lemont Public Library, 50 E. Wend St.
Borling is a native Chicagoan and Air Force Academy graduate, is the author of the recently published book of poetry, "Taps on the Walls." During his six and half years as a prisoner of war, he wrote poems in his mind, no paper or pen, and shared them with his fellow POWs via the tap code to help keep their spirits alive.
The program will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11. Space is limited.
