VIDEO: Putting history in place




A special addition to the Boyd County War Memorial arrived at Armco Park on Monday in time for Veterans Day. The Vietnam-era M56 Scorpion that once sat in Ashland�s Central Park underwent a meticulous refurbishing and, once completed, transfer to the memorial. The project has long been a dream of the Cannonsburg Optimist Club and its president Eulas Hayes. Thanks to the generosity of three local businesses, which donated materials and hundreds of hours of labor, it�s finally come to fruition.
