Aaron Harrison Scott was a brave man who confronted criminals with strength and honor. He must be remembered by more than just his family. I suggest that the State of Oklahoma remember this peace officer by Resolution and I suggest that a section of highway 271 and/or the bridge south of Clayton on Hwy 271 where Officer Scott was murdered have a sign reminding everyone of this brave man's service and sacrifice. He died in 1925 but every law enforcement officer who died in the line of service should be remembered by grateful citizen each and ever day. This can be accomplished with a sign on highway 271 just south of Clayton where he singularly confronted criminals and was murdered. RIP Aaron Harrison Scott....and may you receive the recognition your sacrifice deserves.
