The intersection of McEver and Mundy Mill roads was dedicated as the “Corporal Matthew Britten Phillips Memorial Intersection” on Saturday in memory of a soldier from Hall County who was killed serving in Afghanistan in 2008. After a short ceremony at West Hall High School led by state Rep. Emory Dunahoo, a procession of friends and family was led down McEver Road by an escort of local police officers and Patriot Guard Riders. The procession was met by members of the Hall and Gainesville fire departments, who saluted the fallen soldier by raising a giant American flag over the intersection.
