People like Gerry Carr make the Greenbrier what it

People like Gerry Carr make the Greenbrier what it is. He has just finished his night shift, including one and a half hours polishing the marble floor “without a streak”. Gerry’s parents were both in the Navy. His Dad was killed in service when he was four. Gerry was with the police force for 27 years and the Greenbrier for 15 years. Gerry’s two children are in the police force serving the same town as he did. God bless America, Gerry and his family. #workethic #service #honesty #backboneofamerica #greenbrier #dorothydraper #wv

“For in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, "hold office"; every one of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities. We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we demand and deserve.” — President John F Kennedy
