As you drive through Mercersburg, you may notice banners honoring Hometown Heroes, yet how often do we pause to learn who they were and what they did?

This presentation offers an opportunity to go beyond the banners.

Hear one local veteran’s story, and honor all who served.

Edward A. Walker lived in Fort Loudon and served for nine months before the war ended.

He became part of the occupation forces.

Follow his journey from basic training to deployment in Europe, explore personal items, artifacts he brought home, and read his letters home.

The presentation is led by his son-in-law, Jef Savage, and his daughter Nancy Walker
