Roanoke Times - 4/14/2017

World War II veteran Suttie "Sunny" Economy (above left) watches Chris Decker (standing) and Cecil Coleman, members of Fire Station 1, place flowers - purchased by Economy - at the Roanoke Valley War Memorial in Lee Plaza on Thursday morning. Economy purchases flowers every year for the memorial and has done so for at least the last 10 years. He says he wants the city to maintain the memorial better. "Deceased veterans should never be forgotten," Economy said.
