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.
