KEYSER - Not many people can say a group of veterans from all over the United States rode their bikes some 3,000 miles to honor them.
Clifton Brooks Sr., however, can not only say that, but he can also say family and friends joined those riders for a celebration unlike any other in recent memory in Keyser.
Brooks, 99 and a lifelong resident of Keyser, is a veteran of the famed Tuskegee Airmen and was active with them as a cryptographer during World War II. He is believed to be one of the few remaining Tuskegee Airmen alive today.

West Virginia municipalities finalized their budgets in March. As the News Tribune compared their budgets, specifically examining the funds set aside for their respective police departments, we wondered: What does each of the towns get for their money?
The law enforcement budgets are used for salaries, uniforms and equipment, vehicles, and maintenance. As the populations of West Virginia’s cities and towns have decreased, however, so has the share of money available for law enforcement. In 1977, municipalities comprised almost half of police spending in the entire state, compared to 39 percent in 2017, according to the West Virginia Center on Budget & Policy.
