Bridge Honors Six Maybrook Brothers | Roanoke News

A bridge in Giles County was officially dedicated to honor the Maybrook Men—six brothers from Atkins, five of whom served in WWII and the youngest in the Korean War. The emotional ceremony brought together family, including 102-year-old Dora Atkins, married to the eldest for 75 years, who called the honor “speechless.” Sons present were moved to tears, one saying his quiet father would’ve been deeply proud, while another reflected on the profound sacrifice of all six brothers. A 21-gun salute capped the event, symbolizing how one small-town family’s service has become a lasting chapter in American history.
