Brookneal, VA -
At a gathering in Brookneal this Memorial Day, the message was clear- fallen soldiers will not be forgotten. With a bugle and color guard, dozens of veterans and community members showed their support and gratitude for current and fallen war heroes.
Roanoke native Sergeant Bob Slaughter was the day's guest speaker. Slaughter is a D-Day survivor and the driving force behind the creation of the D-Day memorial in Bedford. He recently wrote a book about his time as a soldier in World War II and signed copies Monday afternoon.
