Paper looking for photos of missing Veterans; seeks information on two Vets

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: James R. Davis, T.J. Pitts, 
Paul Shoemaker and Jerry W. Taylor

In addition, Keane is asking for a little more information on 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, we can't run the 
information."

Photos and information can be dropped off at 716 South St., by calling 
601-735-4341 or emailing Keane at news@thewaynecountynews.com. The 
office will be closed Friday and Saturday, but will be open Sunday.
