Letter to the editor: WWII vet memorial
While visiting a section of Maplewood Cemetery in search of our second great-grandfather’s resting place, I came across a monument to a fallen World War II hero, Vernon Hardison. The inscription revealed the dates of his young life, putting his 100th birthday on the 22nd of this October. Lenoir County’s Veterans of Foreign Wars is currently researching options for replacing the medallion on Mr. Hardison’s memorial. As his 100th birthday approaches shortly before Veterans Day, let us take a moment to remember and honor all of our veterans.
