Oconee County History
Reverend John Andrew Chapter, NSDAR, and Oconee Veterans Memorial Foundation
Celebrated Memorial Day 2015
with Completion of NSDAR Special Projects Grant.
On Memorial Day 2015, the Oconee Veterans Memorial Foundation (OVMF) and the Reverend John Andrew Chapter, NSDAR, hosted a celebration for the completion of the NSDAR Special Project Grant. The eagle sculpture, Freedom, now stands proudly above the Killed in Action Memorial Garden and is flanked on both sides by the Wall of Honor featuring the names of Oconee County veterans. The event included a concert of patriotic music, presentation of the colors by the Athens’s SAR chapter, presentation of over 30 wreaths, and several moving speeches. The Georgia State Regent introduced the NSDAR Reporter General. She worked on military airlift flights to Vietnam, making her speech ideal for the 50th Anniversary of Vietnam. Memorial Vietnam pins were given to numerous Vietnam veterans.
