Residents are joined by some out-of-state football fans in preparing a memorial at the sign on U.S. Highway 49 that touts the Mount Olive, Miss., community as the hometown of the late Steve McNair, Thursday, July 9, 2009. McNair, a star athlete from junior high school through college and later in the NFL, is fondly remembered by many in the community for his sports exploits as well as his goodwill efforts to assist Hurricane Katrina victims and provide free sports camps for children, rather than the circumstances surrounding his July 4 death.
