SUMMARY: In this week's edition of Driving Through Meridian, sponsored by JX, News 11's Nick Oele highlights the East Mississippi Veterans Memorial Park dedicated to the veterans of East Mississippi. This park, a collaborative effort of the East Mississippi Veterans Foundation established in 2018, honors military service members from the area, with a significant portion of the local population having military ties. Key features include memorial plaques, a RF-4C Phantom II jet, and planned additions like the Armed Forces Plaza and a UH-1 Huey helicopter. The park, open seven days a week and free to the public, serves as both a memorial and educational experience.

SUMMARY: The city of Meridian hosted their first biannual Amnesty Day, allowing residents to drop off items such as used oil, oil filters, paint thinners, aerosol cans, and tires at the Public Works Department and North Hill Shopping Center. Despite the rain, the event saw a good turnout. Amnesty Day provides a valuable service, helping residents dispose of items not accepted during regular garbage pickups. The city's partnership and the community's participation make it beneficial for Meridian. For those who missed it, another Amnesty Day is scheduled for the fall.
