John Kelly Fitzpatrick honored during annual Veterans Day Tribute

As the community gathers Nov. 11 for Elmore County’s 9th Annual Tribute to Veterans, the service career of one of the area’s most revered artists will be the subject of an exhibit in this year’s Gallery of Honor. The tribute to John Kelly Fitzpatrick (1888-1953) will include a watercolor painted during his World War I military career. Fitzpatrick enlisted in the U.S. Army in March 1918 and took part in three major offensive battles, one of which changed the tide of the war.
