Jefferson County resident Morry Sledge is diligent regarding the cleaning up of the Boots Thomas Veteran's Memorial Park, which can be found on Highway 90, as well as the City Cemetery, especially around the grave of Sgt. Ernest “Boots” Thomas.
Sgt. Thomas was one of the soldiers who helped place the original American flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, Japan and died heroically in action.
Sledge, is the son of Dr. James Sledge - Sgt. Thomas' childhood friend - and he says that he has plenty of time on his hands and respect for American soldiers, so this is something he can do by himself and with his dad, Dr. Sledge, anytime.
