Young Billingsley Man Works To Keep Veterans’ Stories Alive

A 21-year-old Billingsley resident is preserving the stories of American service members through a collection of more than 30 military uniforms and other artifacts. David William Stabler, an Eagle Scout and 2024 graduate of Billingsley High School, researches soldiers’ lives and shares the history of the 31st Infantry Division, including Alabama’s 167th Infantry Regiment. He hopes to bring greater recognition to the unit and the people who served in it.
