Tonight's City Council Meeting was a work session. The prayer was led by Mr. Steve Kennamer, City Attorney. The Pledge of Allegiance was lead by a special guest, SSgt Nick Bradley, USAF, son-in-law of our Police Chief Ralph Dawe. SSgt Bradley was seriously injured in Afghanistan by a roadside improvised explosive device. SSgt Bradley received immediate medical attention in Southwest Asia, he was then Medevaced to Landstuhl Germany, then on to Walter Reed Medical Center where he has under gone extensive reconstructive surgery. SSgt Bradley exemplifies the sacrifice that our military service members provide our nation to preserve the freedoms that we all enjoy. It was great to see SSgt Nick Bradley up and about. Nick, may God bless you and your family, I know many are praying for your further recovery.
