Thank you so much for publishing information about the veterans wall, and thanks to the men who went to so much trouble to honor those same veterans, and most of all, thank you to all the veterans who have served. Freedom is not free. My dad was R. J. Lucas, Jr. I just entered the information about his service in World War II. He was born and reared in Bay Springs. I went with him to one of his Walnut Hill High School reunions. I was a teenager. Thank you all again. Letty Jean Lucas Parrish, Summerville, SC

There is another “Wall of Honor” at the Barrineau Park Community Center. It features anyone who served in any branch of the military who are from the surrounding area. There are over 80 photos currently on the wall with more coming in each day. There are photos of folks who served in WW1. A special place is reserved for those who were killed in action.

Thanks Mr Ward and Mr. Wiggins for your efforts in establishing the tribute to area veterans. Although my name is not on the wall I have a greater feeling of pride in our community when I look at the list of people who fought so that we can enjoy our way of life safely.
