TRIBUTE FOR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE

The annual placing of American flags took place in Hickman, in advance of Memorial Day. Members of Hickman's Aubra Townsend American Legion Post 57, along with Fulton County Sheriff Chad Parker and Fulton County Sheriff's Deputy Matt Quimby, placed flags in honor of local veterans at five cemeteries. Over 500 flags are placed annually to honor those who have served their country from the Civil War through the Vietnam War. (Photo courtesy of Hickman Chamber of Commerce)
