\"APSUClarksville, TN<\/strong> – In early 2003, Gerald Gilman, Randy Rubel and a committee undertook a monumental task. They put out a call for veterans and their families in Montgomery County to bring in pictures and service details for a collection to be titled \u201cFaces of Valor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those items are now displayed in the restored Montgomery County Courthouse, and a guidebook was printed, featuring 255 entries of soldiers serving from numerous eras.\u201cWe went all the way back through history to the Civil War and Mexican American War to the current conflicts of today,\u201d Gilman said. \u201cWe were able to collect photographs and little biographies of these individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The success of the guidebook prompted the committee to work on a second volume of the work. They recently published that book, featuring 385 additional photos and bios from service personnel who lived in this area.<\/p>\n

At 5:00pm on March 12th, Gilman and Rubel will discuss how the project took shape during the Austin Peay State University Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts\u2019 Spring Salon Series at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library\u2019s Main Floor Meeting Room. The event is free and open to the public. The Center hosts the Salon Series once a month during the fall and spring semesters, featuring distinguished local artists and arts organizations, followed by refreshments and good conversations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be able to honor our veterans and those who served from our community through this salon,\u201d Christopher Burawa, executive director of the center, said.<\/p>\n

The March 12th event will include samples of photos and bios from the two-volume \u201cFaces of Valor\u201d work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a little talk about how we gathered the collection,\u201d Gillman said. \u201cWe\u2019ll also share a few stories, some highlights, from the books.\u201d<\/p>\n

For some years, the committee worked with the APSU History Department, the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center, various veterans\u2019 archives and The Leaf Chronicle to assemble \u201cFaces of Valor.\u201d Jostens Publishing Company of Clarksville donated the printing for this project.<\/p>\n
