Thanks to county road crews

I would like to thank the road crew of Holmes County during the weekend floods of March 28, 2009.

These workers worked long hard hours diligently checking the roads in our county and closing those roads that were underwater or washed out so badly that traffic was impossible to go through these areas. This was done under extreme conditions, both day and night. The floods also affected many of the workers’ families, but these guys were out there looking out for us, the travelers.

The work of these crews goes mostly unnoticed and due to the very fact that in some instances they put themselves in peril to keep the roads safe fore the motoring public by traveling the many miles to go around or through the bad areas. By doing so they probably saved many of the motorists in Holmes County from having an accident or worse.

I think they did an outstanding job, considering the lack of personnel and resources and they deserve a ‘well done’ for the job. They truly deserve more credit than they get from the average citizen, who does not know or care how well they did and will continue to do their jobs.

Thank You Holmes County Road Department for your diligence.
