Hardeman County Veterans to be Recognized for Service

Veterans who attend the 2024 Hardeman County Veterans Program.

The annual Hardeman County Veterans Program spearheaded by Vicki Ward Ridenhour of the Hardeman County Veterans Committee will be held on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 10 a.m. at the Bolivar Municipal Center. Lieutenant Colonel Neal Certain, United States Air Force (Retired) will be the keynote speaker of the event, which is in its thirteenth year.

The ceremony was created by Frances Ward to honor her husband, First Sergeant with the US Army (Retired) William T. (Rick) Ward, and other military veterans in Hardeman County for their years of service. After her mother’s passing in 2019, Ms. Ridenhour “took up the torch and ran with it”, and has been as committed as her mother in ensuring Hardeman County veterans are recognized each year.
