Under clear, blue skies with sunshine, Lawrence County paused on Wednesday, November 11th (Veterans Day) to honor the local men and women who gave their service to their country.
The annual Lawrenceville V.F.W. Veterans Day ceremonies were held at the Veterans Monument located on the northwest corner of the Lawrence County Courthouse square in Lawrenceville. They included the raising of the American flag, speeches, and a firearm salute to those who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy today.
Following the ceremony, the annual Quilts of Valor presentations were made to five local veterans at the V.F.W. Post located at 511 North 12th Street in Lawrenceville. The quilts are presented to recognize the recipient's service and sacrifice. All were nominated for the presentation.
