Chad Fryer, Jr. (L) extends a hand to his long-time friend and former Fayette County resident Sgt. Tim Peavy, who is stationed at Ft. Campbell, Ken. Chad celebrated his 11th birthday on Nov. 11 and, in recognition of Veterans Day, he wanted to use the occasion to honor members of the military. Chad’s yard off Ellison Road was packed with more than 150 people, a wealth of flags and, of course, the other guest of honor. “I’ve known him forever,” Chad said of Peavy. Photo/Ben Nelms.
