Pictured are (l-r) Jonathan Harvey, Dale Frazier and Robert Lowe as they receive yellow bows from Terrell Moody and Tim Daniel of Moody-Daniel Funeral Home in Zebulon. The bows lined Pike roads for the funeral procession of Lt. Robert Eugene Oxford and will now be used to welcome home Korean War veteran Corp. Leslie Royal “Leroy” Sutton who died in battle in 1950.
Bows donated to welcome home KIA veteran
Hundreds of yellow bows lined the roads of Pike County as WWII hero Lt. Robert Eugene Oxford was returned home for burial 73 years after the bomber plane he was aboard crashed in the Himalayan Mountains.
Many bows were returned to Moody-Daniel Funeral Home and they loaded them up and took them to Rochelle, Ga. to help welcome home Corp. Leslie Royal “Leroy” Sutton, whose remains were identified by DNA in April. He was listed as MIA while fighting in North Korea in November 1950. He will arrive from Hawaii on June 22 and will be laid to rest in his hometown 67 years after he gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Frazier and Son Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
