Kent County honors Petty Officer Dakota Collison with flags at half-mast

The Kent County Commissioners meeting opened with a poignant moment of remembrance as attendees stood for the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a moment of silence honoring Petty Officer First Class Dakota Collison.

This heartfelt tribute underscores the community's commitment to remembering and supporting the families of those who serve. The commissioners urged everyone to keep Collison's family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. The meeting highlighted the importance of unity and respect for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
