KEYSER, W.Va. — “Today is a great day for the City of Keyser. It is a day we as a city can give back to a hero.“
With those words, Keyser mayor Damon Tillman opened the short ceremony on a brisk Friday afternoon to rename the city’s South End Park as Brooks Park in honor of 96-year-old Clifton E. Brooks Sr.
Brooks, a veteran of World War II, was a member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African-American pilots and other Army Air Corps soldiers who played an integral part in the second World War.
