Sedalia Dave Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 WBIR Knoxville TN The memorial billboard campaign comes through the Outdoor Advertising Association of Tennessee, which Conley said includes companies such as Lamar, Fairway and Clear Channel Outdoor. (WBIR - Knoxville) New billboards throughout Knoxville, Chattanooga and other cities statewide show hats for four Marines and one Navy sailor, to honor the servicemen killed in last Thursday's fatal shootings. One of the billboards in Knoxville is at the intersection of Chapman Highway and Deva Drive in South Knoxville.Brian Conley is vice president and general manager of Lamar Knoxville, the outdoor advertising company running the tribute on its area billboards."It's a powerful message...I was moved," he said, describing when he first saw the artwork. "The first copy of the artwork that we did just had the four Marine hats, and then, unfortunately, the sailor passed away the next day, so we added that the next day."He said several different outdoor advertising companies throughout the state are running the memorial, free of charge."That's one good thing about the state of Tennessee: the people really pull together," Conley said. "We appreciate that we're able to support the state as a whole."The memorial is displayed on seven Lamar Knoxville billboards, including on Chapman Highway, Lovell Road and Kingston Pike. Angela Taps with Lamar Knoxville said the message is set to run through late Thursday night.The memorial billboard campaign comes through the Outdoor Advertising Association of Tennessee, which Conley said includes companies such as Lamar, Fairway and Clear Channel Outdoor.Victoria Foster is assistant sales manager for Lamar Nashville, where the signs are also running."We are paying our respects to the families," she said.10News first became aware of the billboards from multiple Facebook posts. Sounds like they are springing up all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL Many people are very knowledgeable of the protocol for lowering the flag to half-mast and do not call for this tribute easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
