Hempstead County Judge Jerry Crane, Veterans Service Officer Leon Prince, County Clerk Karen Smith, Circuit Clerk Gail Wolfenbarger, and Sheriff James Singleton joined with American Legion members Robert Johnson and James Cheatham to hold a short observance at the Hempstead County Veterans Monument.  Wendell McCorkle of Hope Floral provided a large wreath for the impromptu service.  Judge Crane said during the service that he and his fellow officials knew they couldn’t have a traditional service but wanted the veterans and their families to know they are remembered.
