As a Memorial Day Tribute,  I would like to honor my three Jackson County cousins who gave their life for this country...James Posey Padgett,  who died April 16,  1862 at age 20 during the Civil War; Ernest P. Webb,  who died September 15,  1918 at the age of 20 in France during WWI; and Thomas Edward Webb,  who died December 1944 at age 30 at Pearl Harbor during WWII.
