Ceremony honors veterans


Veterans from several wars were recognized at a community-wide Veterans Day celebration held Sunday, Nov. 9, at Tuckasegee Baptist Church. From left are Walter Middleton, World War II; Cecil Frady, Korean War; Buck Stewart, Vietnam; Keith Pannell, Desert Storm; and Shane Jones, Iraq. The American flag used as a backdrop was given to the late Alvin Watson, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was a member of the church.

Following the patriotic service, a flagpole and monument (below) were dedicated to the memory and honor of all Jackson County veterans. – Herald photo by Rose Hooper
