Hilderbrand’s homage

For some who look back on their lives and take stock of what they, and possibly members of their family, have accomplished, they find there are few memorable or noteworthy occurrences. Not so with Flavia Elliott of Sallisaw, who has a treasure trove of recollections, especially of her uncle Jack Hilderbrand’s service to his country in World War II, under the command of Gen. George S. Patton. And that she worked for the USO. And that two of her other uncles helped build Fort Chaffee. And that war hero Jack C. Montgomery was a family friend.
