In these days of uncertain times with war and conflicts raging, we as Americans should be thankful and proud to live in this great, free nation. Freedom is never free. Our freedom is protected daily by our brave men and women in the armed forces, just as those soldiers before them. Thousands of men and women have sacrficed their lives for our nation and our freedom during times of war and of peace.
In December 2001, the Habersham County Commissioners passed a resolution and the Habersham County Wall of Honor, Inc. was formed. A committee made up of veterans and patriots began working diligently. The late Ken Palmer was the initiator and organizer of this committee. He compiled over 5,000 names of Habersham County Veterans before his death.
