On Memorial Day, Americans honor those who died in service to their country.
This monument at Old Live Oak Cemetery lists several from Selma
in various branches of the military, including Navy Lt. John T. Melvin,
who was the first American officer to die in World War I. He was aboard
the patrol boat Alcedo when it was sunk by a German submarine.
