  		Jerry C. Kaylor WW II Memorabilia 2001 "On Nov. 11, a day of honor for all Morgan County veterans who served during the 20th Century, the hallways of Martinsville High School and the principal's lobby will take on the look of both WWII and today's modern U.S. Army....Like so many other collectors, the couple's passion has spread to other family members. Steve's niece, Nikki Gadd, is developing an interest in this old WWII memorabilia. Her appearance at Sunday's Veterans Day Tribute and Fundraiser will likely bring cheers and fond memories to the auditorium full of old WWII veterans. Nikki, daughter of Charles and Lana Gadd (and granddaughter of Rufford and Judy Gadd, all from Martinsville) will wear the "Dress Blues" of a real "Home-town Hero" from Eminence, Jerry C. Kaylor. Kaylor served with the South Pacific U.S. Marine Fleet forces that fought those bloody campaigns on Guam and Guadalcanal. During his tour of duty (1942-45), Kaylor saw combat in some of the most vital battles of WWII. Now retired, except for some farming, Kaylor will no doubt feel a special sense of pride when a young patriot from a long line of Gadd patriots walks to her place at the microphone to pay honor to the women who served in WWII. Nikki will not only look the part, she'll bring honor to Jerry Kaylor, Bill Pearson, Bill Nutter, "Bud" Grow, Bill Hastings, and the countless other Morgan County "boys" who proudly wore those Dress Blue colors in that war more than 56 years ago."
