SUMMARY:Harriman Public Library Hosts Guest Speaker Melvin Paige
DESCRIPTION:The Harriman Public Library will be hosting guest speaker\, Melvin Paige\, who will be sharing his experience in the Vietnam War.  \n\nVietnam Veteran\, Melvin Page\, earned his high school diploma after a forty year delay. Melvin is a retired letter carrier in Roane County\, Tennessee. His story was on the website: wbir.com.  (Click here to watch). It was written by Aaron Wright who provided a little insight about this Vietnam Veteran who stepped forward when his country called and served admirably in a war that afforded him little recognition and respect. He was seriously wounded in battle and then battled Agent Orange illnesses in later years yet today he can outrun those half his age.\n\nMelvin took advantage of a new program in Tennessee to help veterans of previous wars including Vietnam take advantage of the educational opportunities available to them. He encourages all veterans to get the education they may have missed as a result of their military service. \n\nDon't miss this opportunity to meet this local hero\, and hear his amazing story.
