PFC Dillon W. Porter of Company F, 3rd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment, completed basic combat training on Aug. 26 at the United States Army Training Center Fort Jackson, S.C.. 165th Infantry Brigade.
He is presently a senior at Yazoo County High School. After graduating in the spring of 2011, PFC Porter will report to Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. to further his career in the military.
He is the son of Dalton and Tammy Porter of Bentonia. His grandparents are Vaun Ciele Porter and the late Buddy Porter, Buddy Thrasher and the late Barbara Howell, all of Bentonia.
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.
