Members of VFW Post 6097 and of the County celebrated the official planting of the Liberty Tree. VFW Commander Russell Lunsford explained why a Tulip Poplar -- Kentucky's state tree -- was selected for the Liberty Tree. As it takes root on the VFW grounds, organizers hope it will stand for decades as a reminder of the nation's founding principles and the generations who have worked to preserve them.
