As country singer Lee Newton sang "God Bless the USA," Cleveland County veterans, leaders and elected officials slowly unveiled a granite monument honoring those who served in the military before a crowd gathered at Uptown Shelby's historic Court Square on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The monument, which recognizes veterans from each branch of service, was dedicated during the annual Veterans Day program. The memorial, inscribed with "Dedicated to all who served in times of war and peace," features several plaques, including one depicting the iconic photograph of U.S. Marines raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. At the bottom it displays the message "All gave some — some gave all." Following a parade, the unveiling kicked off with American Legion Post 82 presenting the colors.

Asphalt as a souvenir? NASCAR fans seek chunks of historic NC track as keepsakes
One of the small North Carolina racetracks that helped give birth to NASCAR is being repaved for the first time in 34 years, and chunks of the old track have become a hot commodity among racing fans. Hickory Motor Speedway apparently understands that kind of devotion to the sport, and it intends to oblige the unusual requests.
