'Combat wounded parking' coming to Fayetteville

Fayetteville is giving local companies a chance to recognize men and women wounded in combat by allocating a designated parking space for them.

Wounded Warrior Family Support Foundation donated 50 12-inch-by-18-inch signs – available for on a first-come, first-serve basis – to those that have parking lots within the city limits.

For more information, contact Lee Jernigan at 910-433-1660 or send an email to ljernigan@ci.fay.nc.us

The signs, free to those meeting the city's minimum parking requirements, have popped up all over the country, including cities in Texas, Massachusetts and California.
