On Memorial Day weekend a group of patriotic children gathered under the shade of a magnolia tree on the grounds of Laurel Mississippi’s City Hall. Their purpose was to  plant 172 flags – one for every Jones county hero who gave all.

WE REMEMBER 

THIS MEMORIAL DAY WE HONOR THE COURAGE, SACRIFICE, AND SERVICE OF THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE EVERYTHING FOR OUR FREEDOM, WE DO SO WITH HEARTS FULL OF GRATITUDE AND REMEMBRANCE. MEMORIAL DAY IS MORE THAN A DATE ON THE CALENDAR—IT’S A SOLEMN REMINDER THAT FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE, AND THAT BEHIND EVERY FLAG-DRAPED MEMORY LIES A STORY OF VALOR AND DEEP LOVE OF COUNTRY.
