🇺🇸 EARL DEWITT, of Leakesville, Greene County, Mississippi, served our nation with honor in the United States Army from 2011–2015. Rising to the rank of Specialist (E-4), he served as an Infantry Gunner and completed two combat deployments to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

During his military service, Earl endured the hardships and dangers that come with combat operations. After being injured while serving his country, he received an Honorable Discharge, bringing to a close four years of dedicated service to the United States.

Like so many of our Pine Belt veterans, Earl answered the call when his nation needed him, serving courageously far from home in one of America’s longest wars. His sacrifice and commitment reflect the finest traditions of the U.S. Army.

We are grateful for his service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 PVT HENRY TILDEN HINTON (1888–1953), Perry County

PVT Henry Tilden Hinton served with the U.S. Army’s 150th Infantry Regiment during World War I. As a member of the 38th Division—known as the “Cyclone Division”—he answered his nation’s call during one of the most significant conflicts of the twentieth century.

The 38th Division trained at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, before deploying to France in 1918. By the time the division arrived in Europe, American forces were heavily engaged in the final months of the war. Many soldiers of the 38th Division were assigned as replacements to units already serving on the front lines, helping sustain the American Expeditionary Forces during the closing stages of the conflict. Others performed vital support and occupation duties as the war drew to an end and during the months that followed the Armistice.

PVT Hinton served overseas from 1918 to 1919, contributing to the Allied effort during a pivotal period in world history. Like thousands of other American soldiers, he left home to serve in a distant land and helped ensure the success of the U.S. military mission in Europe.

We are grateful for his service and proud to remember his contribution to our nation. 🇺🇸
