I’m always uneasy when I see a text notification at 7:39 A.M., but I needn’t have been. Rev. H. Maurice Barnes was sharing great news!

Cemetery Commission Leader Heather Goff told Barnes that it was laid on her heart that something should be done to recognize Vick Cemetery’s veterans, so she purchased and placed flags at the central monument to honor their service and sacrifice. This marker, in essence, marks tombs of unknown soldiers, and Goff’s gesture is fitting and deeply appreciated.
