Mt. Carmel Elementary gets veteran visit
MOUNT CARMEL — Mount Carmel Elementary fourth-grade students recently participated in a lesson that will stay with them for many years. Joe McCann, a local veteran of the US Marine Corps, visited with the fourth-grade class at MCES not long before Veterans Day, speaking to them about the importance of the American flag and what it represents. McCann demonstrated how to properly raise and take down the flag, and the reasons why and how a flag is sometimes retired. Students were taught the proper steps in folding the flag, and some students were allowed to participate in the folding process. He explained what “half staff” meant, and why the flag is sometimes raised only to half staff. Having served in the Marine Corps, Joe was honored to spend some time with the students. “It’s an honor to be asked to come and share this with students. Our flag represents so much and means a lot to me,” McCann stated. He took time for questions and even some stories from the students, many of whom had family members of their own who had served in the military. “With every fold, our flag tells a proud story,” author unknown. ~Submitted by Mt.

Project Bulletin, November 9, 2026: Camden, Arkansas; Jonesborough, Tennessee; Centennial, Colorado
Last week, Lockheed Martin announced plans for a $420 million expansion of its operations in southern Arkansas. The company is aiming to increase production capacity for the U.S. Department of War’s (DOW) PAC-3, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Precision Strike Missile platforms at the 2,427-acre Camden site. The current 2.2-million-sq.-ft. facility houses production for seven DOW programs which has supplied over 700,000 rockets and missiles in the past four decades. This expansion follows Lockheed’s January 2026 investment to construct a new Munitions Acceleration Center in the city, further deepening the company’s footprint in the region while enhancing technical capabilities. “Lockheed Martin is investing at unprecedented speed and scale to expand manufacturing capacity and deliver the critical capabilities our warfighters need, faster,” said Lockheed Martin Camden Site General Manager Adam Bailey. “For more than four decades, Camden has played a vital role in strengthening our nation’s defense, and this investment marks another significant step in accelerating production, advancing next-generation manufacturing and creating 650 new jobs.”
