Senator Jerry Moran will deliver keynote remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Seitz Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Junction City.

According to a release from the Senator’s office the ceremony is scheduled from 9 – 9:30 a.m. Saturday, June 4 at 1169 Southwind Drive. The new clinic will be located just west of US 77 Highway on the south side of Junction City.

The ceremony will honor the life of Lieutenant General Richard J. “Dick” Seitz. He was a Leavenworth native and a World War II veteran who served nearly 37 years of active duty in the U.S. Army, and received numerous awards including the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart.

After retiring from the military, Lt. Gen. Seitz settled in Junction City where he lived until his passing in June 2013. Following his death, Sen. Moran introduced legislation to name the Junction City CBOC in honor of Seitz. The legislation was signed into law in December of 2014.
