Habersham County Veterans Hall of Honor Receives Donation

The Habersham County Chamber of Commerce presented a check Monday to the Habersham County Veterans Wall of Honor.

According to NowHabersham.com, the Chamber of Commerce donated $2,500 to the Wall of Honor committee, which was a portion of the proceeds raised during the Lake Russell 5K and Fun Run that was held earlier this month, and was put on by the Chamber.

The first wall, located on Business Highway 441, was erected last year and includes the names of 1,608 of the 4,000 veterans names that the committee has collected so far. Two more walls will be installed once enough money is raised. A fourth wall is included in the plans for future growth.
