Daily News for Saturday, May 29, 2021
Some Traditions Shall Not Die By Mike Watson Perhaps my generation will be the last to honor the dead, perhaps not, but it seems fewer people make the annual trek--or more often for some of us--to the final resting places of their loved ones. This weekend, Memorial Day, or Decoration Day as it was once, is the traditional time to revisit our past, reconnect with family and old friends, and honor not only those who died in the service of our great nation, but all deceased veterans, as well as all our revered ones. As I said to someone yesterday, I sort of grew up in graveyards. By that I meant the cemetery was no strange to me, nor was there ever any fear or trepidation of these places. Growing up in the 1960s in a close-knit, rural area, deaths were not uncommon, and when they occurred we visited the local funeral home, attended funerals, and went to the cemetery. As a matter of respect, we stopped at family cemeteries throughout the year, but Memorial Day was the time to talk about family, to place floral tributes, and to visit with family and friends we rarely saw otherwise. This tradition was instilled in me. I have not wavered. In the 1980s Mrs. Margie Coffey and I undertook a monumental task--the recording of marked graves in the county. Together, and with much help from many supporters, we compiled seven volumes. Published by the Adair County Library and the Adair County Genealogical Society; there came another volume. And in a year or so there will be a volume nine. We still find small family burying grounds and document them. This week I made an early start.

Recognizing our Fallen Heroes this Memorial Day By Congressman James Comer U.S. Representative, 1st District of Kentucky As Americans, it is easy for us to overlook the many blessings and freedoms we hold dear. This Memorial Day should be a time to count the blessings our great nation provides and reflect on the sacrifices our fallen servicemen and servicewomen have made throughout our country's history. On Memorial Day, we remember America's fallen heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. This is an important time to set aside the rush of our daily lives and celebrate the enormous contributions of these heroes.
