Man Run Over By SUV In Private Property Accident

May 29, 2017

A man was seriously injured when he was run over by a SUV in a private property accident Sunday  afternoon in McDavid.

The man, in his twenties, was reportedly struck by a SUV at home in the 100 block of West Bogia Road. The SUV came to rest on top of the man, before the driver removed it in order to free him. The exact circumstances of the incident are under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

The accident scene was hundreds of yards down a long, narrow driveway at a home located well off the roadway, a driveway narrow enough that fire engines and an ambulance were unable to reach the home. The victim was transported to an ambulance waiting at the roadway by a fire department pickup truck.

The condition of the victim was not available.

Molino Park Students Receive Flag Flown On U.S. Missions In Kuwait

May 29, 2017

In learning more about patriotism and military appreciation last school year, Mrs. Gilmore’s first grade class at Molino Park Elementary sent a care package and letters of support to one student’s parent who is deployed overseas with the Air Force.

The class received a thank you letter in return, and a full size American flag that was flown over their mission in Kuwait. The flag will be displayed in a shadow box at the school.

Each student in the class also received an individual flag.

Memorial Day Program: Honoring The Fallen At The Wall South

May 29, 2017

Hundreds of people gathered at Veterans Memorial Park in Pensacola Sunday afternoon to honor those that have given their lives for their country.

The event featured the reading of 140 names that were recently added to the Wall South, a half size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. Both walls now contain the names of 58,315 service members lost 5th tv during the Vietnam conflict. The names of the 140 were added due to the redefining of combat missions or areas, and because of new information and records.

Guest speaker was retired Navy Cmdr. Scott Moyer, a former Blue Angel pilot that was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for combat missions in support of Operations Desert Storm and Southern Watch.
