[Jim Bo From Fort Smith]

Hats off to Marine Lance Corporal Cole Collums of VMA-211 Avengers.  He was wounded in Afghanistan repelling Taliban fighters who destroyed 6 Harrier jets at Camp Bastion on September 14.  He was with other Marines in a maintenance building when all hell broke loose.  With no intelligence of enemy strength, Collums and a handful of other Marines stormed out of the building with no helmet or body armour to engage the Taliban fighters.  Collums was hit with shrapnel from two RPG's, but all but one Taliban fighters were killed.

He will be the grand marshall in the Veteran's parade at Van Buren, AR tomorrow beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Main Street.
