Paul Messett brought a smile on his face when he walked into the Klamath Falls City Schools District Office Thursday.
Messett, a Worksource Oregon disabled veterans outreach and local veterans employment representative, was making his rounds in Klamath Falls.
While at KFCS, Messett encountered fellow veteran and KFCS Human Resource Technician and Safety & Health Manager, George Slaughter.
The two took a moment to meet and greet as Slaughter, on behalf of KFCS, was recognized with a Certificate of Appreciation for its support and employment of military veterans. Kim Laugsand of Worksource Oregon’s Klamath office, joined Messett.
Messett shared something interesting with Slaughter and KFCS Superintendent Keith A. Brown, the Certificate of Appreciation is printed on paper which is handmade from recycled military uniforms.
Messett also handed Slaughter a challenge coin, a military tradition which is followed with a handshake.
"I want to say thank to you (Slaughter) for all you have done as a veteran and to the school district here for employing countless other veterans as well. We are thankful for that," Messett said.
