Local Marine Honored by Georgia Military Hall of Fame

Woodstock’s Marine Corp League Detachment 1311 is proud to announce that its founder, John P. Newport, Jr., a decorated US Marine Corps master sergeant, was inducted into the Georgia Military Veterans Hall of Fame in recognition of the many veteran initiatives he established after retiring.

One of his achievements was establishing a trained rifle team to perform rifle honors with the official three-round military salute for deceased members of all branches of the military at the Georgia National Cemetery and other private cemeteries. The team has performed more than 500 such honors.
