Surry County to Honor War Dead on USS North Carolina Rolls
Every North Carolina county will be on a three roll display aboard the USS North Carolina once funds allow.

The effort includes four thousand six hundred eighty Army Air Force deaths and one thousand three hundred sixty nine Navy Marine Coast Guard combat deaths plus 14 in prison camps. An Admiral list honors donors over 100 to 500 dollars, commissioned by Governor Sanford with lifetime naval memorial admission, led in Surry by Osler Woltz of Mount Airy.
