City Offices Closed Memorial Day; Visit 'Fallen Comrade' Memorial

In observance of Memorial Day, City of Clinton offices will be closed Monday, May 25. Offices will reopen Tuesday, May 26, during regular business hours.

In observance of Memorial Day, City of Clinton offices will be closed Monday, May 25. Offices will reopen Tuesday, May 26, during regular business hours. As we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country, we invite residents to visit the “Fallen Comrade” memorial located at the Clinton Visitor Center. The powerful bronze sculpture tells the story of three childhood friends from Clinton, Waller King, Joe Albritton, and Homer Ainsworth, who served together in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. The memorial depicts Marine Joe Albritton carrying his fallen friend, Homer Ainsworth, from the battlefield so he could be brought home to Clinton and laid to rest on American soil. Created by renowned Mississippi College art professor Dr. Sam Gore and dedicated on Veterans Day in 2012, the sculpture stands as a lasting reminder of friendship, sacrifice, and the cost of freedom. Today, Albritton and Ainsworth are buried just feet apart in Clinton Cemetery, their story forever woven into the history of our community. This Memorial Day, we honor all who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. The post City of Clinton Offices Closed on Memorial Day appeared first on City of Clinton.
