Four to be Inducted into the Pike County Memorial Hall of Heroes - December 7 - Pictures are Online

On Saturday, 7 December 2024 at 2:00 p.m. at the Zebulon City Hall on U.S. Route 19, Zebulon, the Pike County American Legion Post 197 will host the 2024 Pike County Memorial Hall of Heroes Induction Ceremony. The 2024 inductees are Pike County Sheriff’s Office Walter E. Carter, Army Private Ernest C. Ross from WWI, Navy Chief Petty Officer Harvey L. Pike from WWII, and Army Sergeant Cebran E. Willis from WWII.

Highlights of the Program will be a POW/MIA tribute, brief history of the Memorial Hall of Heroes, biography readings of the four inductees and the unveiling of each inductee’s shadow box, and “Amazing Grace” and “Taps” in honor of the four inductees. Since the Ceremony is being held on the 83rd anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor and that one of the inductees, Harvey Pike was killed in action on-board the USS Arizona, the theme for this year’s program is “7 December 1941, a date which will live in infamy.” The Memorial Hall of Heroes Class of 2024 will join 41 previous inductees.

The Pike County community is invited to attend this ceremony in honor of these four heroes, and increase their knowledge of Pike County, law enforcement, and military history. A reception in the Pike County Memorial Hall of Heroes will follow the ceremony. Attendees will be able to view all 45 current and previous inductee shadow boxes. The Pike County Memorial Hall of Heroes is open to the public when the Zebulon City Hall is open. The public is encouraged to check out this amazing museum of Pike County history.

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 2024

ZEBULON - On the 7th of December 83 years ago, 2,403 service members and civilians were killed in a painful and unprovoked attack on our Armed Forces. On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we remember these women and men, who gave their last full measure of devotion to our Nation. We honor the brave service members who — with the horrors of Pearl Harbor weighing on their hearts and the hopes of humanity resting on their shoulders — answered the call to defend freedom against the forces of fascism during World War II.

A resolution approved by Congress in 1994 designates December 7 of each year as “National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day,” and directs that flags be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sundown.

Pike County Times Reauthorizes 2017 Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) Request
By Editor Becky Watts

ZEBULON - Pike County Times became acquainted with Clayton Kuhles from MIA Recoveries, Inc. because of his work to bring home the airmen from the "Hot as Hell" crash that brought WWII Bombardier 1st Lt. Robert "Eugene" Oxford home to Concord in 2017. Kuhles discovered the crash site in 2006 in a remote part of India and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) brought home remains from 1st Lt. Oxford. You can read more about his long journey home to Concord in 2017 by clicking here.

Pike County Times reported that the DPAA awarded a high bidder with a contract for Northeastern India Recovery Work in 2017. The solicitation was specifically to follow up on recovery of remains of WWII service members from sites in Northeast India where Kuhles had a lot of experience in recovery and a bid that was $428,000 less than the company who was awarded the contract. Kuhles placed a complaint with the Naval Inspector General, and Pike County Times placed a FOIA for information pertaining to this contract.

Pike County Times received an emailed letter from the Department of Defense FOIA Division advising that it regretted the delay in completing the request and asking if Pike County Times would still like to receive the information that has been requested along with its current caseload of 3,486 requests on August 28, 2020. (This request was one of 2,961 open requests on July 9, 2019.) The letter read as follows: "...we understand that due to the passage of time and changing needs of requesters, it is possible that you no longer have an interest in the documents you requested. Therefore, we ask that you review your enclosed request and confirm your continued interest in the requested information September 30, 2020." Pike County Times sent a letter authorizing the continuation of this FOIA by email today. When the information is finally received, Pike County Times will review and update the article. Click here to read the original articles. Part I is at the bottom of the page with Part II at the top as an update.
