Craig Hockenberry: Standing with Generals
(North Bend, Oh.) - Every year a wreath is laid at the tomb of former President William Henry Harrison. And every year I got to stand with Generals. Each year the White House dispatched a different General and each one did a spectacular job honoring our ninth president William Henry Harrison who is entombed in North Bend which lies inside our school district boundaries.
Only serving his term for 31 days, Harrison became the shortest tenure president. Harrison was also the first president to pass away while in office, therefore, his death sparked a brief conflict and many questions about presidential line of succession.
The wreath ceremony which was implemented by President Gerald Ford has become White House tradition where the current president sends a wreath to each tomb of the former presidents in remembrance of their lives and their service to our countries.
As the Superintendent of Three Rivers I always hosted a large luncheon at the campus of Three Rivers following the event. I truly enjoyed this event as we are proud of our presidential heritage inside our district. It was always a day filled with history and pride. It felt patriotic! CLICK HERE
