During a recent government meeting, officials discussed plans to honor local hero Frank Towers by designating October 31st as Frank Towers Day. Towers, a Gadsden City police officer and the first resident of Etowah to die in World War II, will be commemorated with a proclamation and a ceremony at his memorial star located at the intersection of Broad Street and Third.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place in the morning, prior to Halloween festivities, allowing the community to pay tribute to Towers, who also served as a Navy veteran. This event aims to recognize his contributions and sacrifice for the country.

Additionally, the meeting touched on an existing event called \"Walk Through Time,\" although specific details regarding its date were not confirmed. The discussions reflect the city's commitment to honoring its history and the individuals who have made significant sacrifices for their community and country.
