Carrie Brown

Zack Shannon's hometown streets are lined with remembrances of the 21-year-old Army Specialist who died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan on March 11th. The Fallen Hero Escort for him today will proceed down the streets of Dunedin under banners bearing Zack's name. Along the way, street marquees and personalized road signs will salute the Dunedin High Graduate.
