Posted: 07/12/2025 Name: Stan Kelley Message: Fellow Rangers and all Veterans, The Lumpkin County Veterans Affairs Committee has been laying the groundwork for a Veterans Cemetery in Lumpkin County. We will provide our plan to the Board of Commissioners on August 5, at 1600 hrs. The briefing will take place at the LC Administration Building, 99 Courthouse Hill, Dahlonega, upstairs in the Commissioners Meeting Room. I’m asking for all Veterans to attend this meeting in a show of support for the project. While I believe we have the Boards support, a good turnout of veterans will help encourage them to proceed ahead and make this needed cemetery a reality! Thank each of you for your service! RLTW!

CSM Gilbert was a legend in the Ranger Community where he served in multiple Ranger units to include L Co 75th Inf Rangers in Vietnam. He was also the Ranger Department Command Sergeant Major under Colonel Grange in the early 1970's. He had a long association with the Ranger Hall of Fame where he was also an inductee. RLTW! |

Posted: 05/17/2025 Name: tom wilburn Message: It was an honor to be one of 7 Rangers (all USMRA members) to put in a solid day's work at the home of Marina Barron ( Byrons wife) yesterday. The task was to tear down an old and damaged fence and build a new 600 foot barbed wire fence. Today would have been Byrons birthday and this week will be his Memorial dedication. I have to believe Byron would be proud of the Ranger turnout, and unbelievable effort to help one of our own. I know I am proud of all who gave time, effort, and materials to make this happen. Rangers helping Rangers: that's the standard. |
