For the 9th consecutive year, Granville County veterans are invited to a free afternoon of information, entertainment, and refreshments courtesy of the Granville County Veterans Affairs Committee.
On Saturday, March 9 at 1 p.m. the doors of the Granville County Convention and Expo Center will open for the program “I Am the American Flag”, with guest speaker Mark Pace, local historian and North Carolina Room Specialist at the Richard H. Thornton Library. Attendees will learn things about the flag that will surprise, inspire, and make you think. Early arrivals will have the opportunity to browse information and resources from veteran-related groups and organizations. The 2 p.m. program will also feature JROTC cadets from J. F. Webb and Granville Southern high schools and a pinning ceremony and recognition of each of the armed forces followed by a tasty meal.
Come spend the afternoon with fellow vets to learn, share, and be recognized. It’s the Veterans Affairs Committee’s way to say a sincere “Thank You for Your Service.”
