Community asked for help with missing Veteran's Photos

The Wayne County News is looking for some assistance to complete its 
America 250 Section publishing on June 2.

While putting together the Veteran's Spread that is the main part of the 
section, it was discovered that some photos that were known to be 
brought in were either not scanned in properly or were lost in the 
computers.

"This is a simple mistake that can easily be corrected with help from 
the public," said Publisher Paul Keane. "Sometimes, files get corrupted 
or accidentally deleted, and we apologize for this inconvenience.

"If the family members or Veterans themselves will reach out and provide 
us with a photo, we will be more than happy to scan it in and make sure 
it does not get 'eaten' again."

Photos of Veterans needed are as follows:

Robert Louis Arrington

James R. Davis

William Ray Henderson

Watson Nored

T.J. Pitts

Paul Shoemaker

Jerry W. Taylor

In addition, Keane is asking for a little more information such as 
branch of service, rank and years of service for Edward Foster.

The search for the unknown Veteran is also continuing. There was no name 
attached to the information that was submitted. The handwritten 
information — which is being updated and corrected here — states:

"Dates 10/43-02/46. Rank-Corporal. Military Speciality Truck Driver. 
Offenses: Okinawa, Ryuku Islands,, Occupation of China. Medals Good 
Conduct, Honorable Service Lapel Pin."

Keane said he hopes that someone will come forward and provide the name 
of the Veteran.

"We don't want to miss the chance to recognize this Veteran," he said. 
"Unfortunately, if we can't get the name, the photo will run without the 
name and information."

Photos and information can be dropped off at 716 South St., by calling 
the office at 601-735-4341 or emailing Keane at
