Randall Morris was raised in Flagler County from the age of 2 when his family moved here from Kentucky. He graduated from the former Bunnell High School in 1963, and returned to Kentucky to attend Western Kentucky University where he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army in November 1967, and was honorably discharged in August 1970. During his service, he was promoted to Staff Sergeant within 26 months, a remarkable feat. Morris served in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970, during which time he was awarded the Bronze Star.
Morris is a proud descendent of Lt. Andrew Putnam of the 4th Massachusetts Division of the Continental Line and a patriot of the American Revolution.
For this reason, Morris is a member of the Flagler Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting patriotism and preserving American history by educating future generations. He is a past president, first and second vice president, and currently serves as the chapter’s registrar and genealogist.
Additionally, Morris is a member of the American Legion Post 115. He will be speaking at the community Veteran's Day celebration.
