Stephens Co. Marking Veterans Day Today

Today is Veterans Day and multiple events in northeast Georgia will mark the occasion.

In Stephens County, a ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. today on the lawn of the historic Stephens County Courthouse in downtown Toccoa.

Again this year, the program is sponsored by the American Legion Post 104, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4346, and Marine Corps Detachment 1303.

American Legion Post 104 Adjutant William Tucker said the program will be similar to past years.

“The program will include honors from other patriotic organizations and civic organizations in the county,” said Tucker. “We look forward to your presence for a great program.”

He encouraged people wanting to make sure they have a seat to bring a lawn chair.

Meanwhile, the Toccoa Elks Lodge #1820 is inviting all veterans to the lodge tonight at 5:30 p.m. for a buffet dinner provided by Elks and Auxiliary members.
