A day to remember those who gave all.

***image2center***

A Memorial Day program was held Monday morning in the city auditorium. Donnie Dixon again provided the welcome. After the presentation of colors, pledge and national anthem, there were brief remarks by retired USAF Staff Sgt. Johnny Barton. The main feature was an audio and visual presentation honoring Cochran’s fallen interspersed with other veteran memorials. Dr. Sam Tate, pastor of Union Hill Missionary Baptist Church and former Army Chaplain, had closing comments before the playing of “Taps.” Attendees then had the option to enjoy light refreshments in the back of the auditorium.
