Local Hero Remembered

| 
Special to The HeraldOn a recent trip to Normandy and other World War II battlefield sites, Bob Bailey, along with a small group of men, visited Landesacq, France where Carter native William Coleman was remembered by the town's people for his ultimate sacrifice for freedom. The group left a memorial on the site at Landesacq and gave copies of the November 2010 issue of The Yazoo Herald that featured William Coleman and the memorial set up by the appreciative French people of Landesacq. Pictured with Bailey is a man who helped dig up the engine that was used at the memorial site.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
