To Honor Our VeteransThis area is dedicated to the brave men and women of Fayette County who, throughout time, left their homes and families to serve in the Armed Forces of the United States, in order that our freedom be preserved and our communities be kept safe from the aggression of our enemies. Because of their service to our country, it is our privilege to enjoy a quality of life which is exceeded by none, in a nation that remains the greatest in the world. In honor and in memory of all veterans who have sacrificed to protect our homeland, we humbly thank you.
