Five veterans to get honorary diplomas

Five veterans from the area who never finished high school because they left to join the service during times of war will finally receive their high school diplomas.

Robert Sides Jr. and Glenn Thomas Wilkerson will receive honorary diplomas from Central High School, and William Doyle Sadler, Donald C. Sadler and Edward N. Sadler will receive their honorary diplomas from Chaffee High School.
