Fallen Soldier Memorial rededicated.

Hundreds of people turned out over the weekend to the National Guard Armory near the airport off of Kerr Avenue to pay their respects to fallen troops from the area. A rededication ceremony for the Fallen Soldiers Memorial was held on Saturday. A number of public figures were at the event including keynote speaker, North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. Four more names were added to the memorial after they were killed in Iraq in two thousand nine when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle.
