Last week, Chatham County took time to recognize and honor employees who have served in the United States Armed Forces during its annual Veterans Day program.

Members of Team Chatham were joined by musical performers from Freedom Winds, the woodwind ensemble of the 3d Infantry Division Band, and the Glee Club and String Quartet from Esther F. Garrison School for the Arts. The program also included remarks from Chatham County leadership and other community officials.

Chatham County recognizes the sacrifices and service of its employee veterans and thanks them for their continued commitment to serving the community through their work with Chatham County.

Residents are encouraged to join the County in recognizing these employees and honoring all who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Happy Veterans Day!
