Memorial Day is a somber day of remembrance, and the residents and staff at Dalton’s Place in Waldron paused to honor those who gave all for the freedoms we hold dear.
The staff prepared a meal and extended an invitation to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office. The Memorial Day holiday also marked the eight-year anniversary of the death of former Sheriff Cody Carpenter and Wildlife Officer Joel Campora. Both sacrificed their own lives in an attempt to save two Scott County women from floodwaters on May 31, 2013.
A memorial service was also held on Monday at Southside Baptist Church. Family and friends recalled the life and cherished memories of the former sheriff.
