On Tuesday, June 23, family members of Joseph (Joe) E. Lofton, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3806, friends, and community members gathered as a segment of Mississippi Highway 46, starting at the Webster County line and extending east for one mile toward the Village of Mantee, was designated as the "Joe Eddie Lofton Memorial Highway."
Lofton received numerous awards for his military service - including the Purple Heart, National Defense Service Medal, Army Presidential Unit Citation, and the Vietnam Gallantry Cross - and was the only resident from Mantee, Mississippi, to make the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War. 🎖️

This is great news for Mississippi! More than $24.8 million is headed to our state to advance critical safe room projects to protect lives when severe weather strikes. I’m proud to see FEMA support construction at Copiah-Lincoln Community College, along with projects in Webster and Tate counties. These investments will make our communities stronger, safer, and better prepared for whatever storms may come.
