The Highland County Board of Commissioners proclaimed Sept. 16-18 POW-MIA Recognition Day Weekend. Commission president Jeff Duncan said, “We owe those folks and their families a great deal of gratitude, so we appreciate what they’ve done for us and we need to continue to recognize that and celebrate that.” Steph Roland, financial officer/outreach coordinator at Highland County Veterans Service Office, said there is a planned celebration for the day at the Lakeview Loft on Sunday at 12 p.m. She said the ceremony will include a remembrance of the family members that “sacrificed so much or sacrificed all for our country.” She also said the event is open for all and includes a small car show.
