Submarine veterans to honor wives with memorial

Retired teacher Mary Cheek hates knowing she will miss the Monday dedication of a memorial to the wives of submarine veterans.

Cheeks will be with her son, Jeff, in Alaska next week when the U.S. Submarine Veterans conducts the ceremony to honor the work and family support provided by the wives of veterans who served on submarines since WWII. Her daughter, Susan McLaurin of Gautier, will be present for the event.
