The Oconee Veterans Memorial Foundation, Inc. will host a Veterans Day program November 11 at the Oconee County Veterans Memorial located at Oconee Veterans Park. The program will begin at 11:00 am.
This year’s program will include recognition of all Veterans by service in attendance, special music and the traditional laying of wreaths will occur at the end of the program. The Oconee Veterans Memorial Foundation will unveil additions to the memorial grounds as a phase three plan to honor additional Veterans. All Veteran organizations are encouraged to set up display tents and tables to provide Veteran resources and support. Individuals owning refurbished military vehicles and equipment are also encouraged to display beginning at 10:00am.
The Foundation will announce detailed plans for future space on the Wall of Honor and present an additional 3 names to the Phase III Wall of Honor. General donations are encouraged to provide for the continued maintenance and upkeep of the memorial grounds. All proceeds from the Phase III Honor Our Patriots capital campaign offset construction and maintenance of the wall itself and the presentation of the 39 Killed in Action names from Oconee County. The Wall of Honor tiles and a complete list of nominees to date will be available for review at the ceremony. Wall of Honor nomination forms will be available at the ceremony and Phase III Sponsorship Opportunities will be offered for individual, group or corporate donations.
The Foundation will virtually broadcast the Veterans Day Program on the Foundation’s Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/OconeeVeteransMemorial/ . Please help us promote this event as we continue to Honor our Fallen.
