“In commemorating my father, Jess A. Brown, I remember our shared bond for old music and 80s movies, which created unbreakable memories that I cannot wait to share with my future kids. His infectious laughter and thoughtful gestures made him beloved by all!
My dad was present and hard-working. I hold my dad in a special place in my heart for all the remarkable values he taught my sisters and I. Withal, his passing taught me about perseverance and how to cope with grief, and it gave me a profound appreciation for the sacrifices and things military parents do for their families.”

“SSGT Michael Logan Pope, 30, of Oceanside, California, formerly of Jonesboro, Arkansas, passed away Thursday, January 20, 2022. He graduated from Nettleton High School in 2009. Logan joined the United States Marine Corps in 2013 as a machine gunner. Logan went on to become a Marine Corps Water Instructor, Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques Instructor, and a Drill Instructor, which is one of the most looked upon achievements because it is the most demanding duty. During his eight years of service, Logan received numerous decorations and awards, including The Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal (NAM). This is a decoration presented by the United States Department of the Navy to service members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps who have performed commendably in routine duties or exceptional achievements. In his spare time, Logan enjoyed gaming and riding motorcycles, but his true hobby was muscle cars. He loved working on cars, particularly his Chevrolet Camaro. Logan was the son of Martin Pope and Shannon Stroud. He was preceded in death by his papaw, Hal Wayne Yarbrough. Survivors include his wife of seven years, Andrea Pope; sons, Ryker and Jude.”

”CW2 Joshua Michael Scott is a hero. On May 26, 2005 Josh was killed in action when his OH-58 Kiowa Warrior helicopter came under attack from small-arms fire and crashed in Buhriz, Iraq. Josh’s life in the military embodies a commitment to a greater purpose that goes beyond personal gain. He chose a path that prioritized the well-being and safety of others. His willingness to put the needs of his country and fellow citizens above his own is a testament to his exceptional character and sense of duty. It is this commitment to something larger than oneself that distinguishes him and makes him a true hero. From time spent away from loved ones to the physical and emotional tolls of the work, men and women in the service have endured hardships that many cannot fathom. Despite these challenges, Josh exhibited remarkable resilience, pushing through adversity and demonstrating unwavering confidence. His ability to remain steadfast in the face of difficulties is a testament to his inner strength and determination. However, my fathers heroism goes beyond his tremendous sacrifice. My dad was the type of man to stop everything in order to go help whomever he could. When someone was stuck on the side of the road, he would be the first one there trying to help. When someone’s American flag became worn and torn he would go and replace it with a new one. His willingness to help followed him up until the very end, as he sacrificed it all for me, you, and his country. I hope that you take Joshua Michael Scott’s legacy with you and help to keep him alive in our spirits and souls. Next time you see someone in need please go help. Hold open a door, spare a dollar or two for the homeless, smile at people. A simple act can change a life and if I have learned anything from my father’s life, it's to not leave this world without leaving a positive impact on as many people as possible.”

“My daughter and I lost her father and my husband before she was two years old. I knew him since I was 10, and we were married for 10 years. But a prolonged, untreated condition of PTSD ended in the most unfortunate way. I, in turn, now have the PTSD, I battle at it every day, with finding gratitude with the time we had together.. We miss him immensely. And though I am grateful to be able to look in the eyes, so similar to those that used to look at me, it is heartbreaking that he cannot watch her grow.”
