The Story of Lt. Billy Vincent
SUMMARY: On Memorial Day, the story of Lt. Billy Vincent, a World War II hero from South Mississippi, was revisited. Vincent saved the French town of Lamont by destroying a Nazi convoy, preventing the town’s destruction. His nephew, John Lindley, discovered this history in 2023 and was later invited with family to Lamont, forging a deep bond with its residents. The French visitors came to Mississippi for Memorial Day, enjoying local culture. Lindley, a disabled veteran, values this connection as a meaningful tribute to military sacrifice, emphasizing gratitude between the families and nations. The friendship extends beyond the holiday.

07/23 James' “Weather Kid” Wednesday Forecast
SUMMARY: Welcome back, South Mississippi! It’s Weather Kid Wednesday at WXXV, where local kids help with the forecast. Today’s guest is James, an 11-year-old birthday boy who recently celebrated at Escape Arcade. We’re seeing cloud cover and showers mixed with heat. The high today is 97°F, but with humidity, it feels like 115°F due to the heat index—meaning it feels hotter because sweat doesn’t evaporate well. Tomorrow, temperatures will cool slightly to around 103°F with more rain expected, thanks to a low-pressure system. James advises staying in air conditioning, seeking shade, or visiting a water park to beat the heat.
