The phrase, “Everyone knows a Veteran” is true in every form of the word. They were the ones that took an oath and stood watch. They are the real sheepdogs and the ones who signed a blank check to the greatest Nation on earth. That check was written for “up to, and including, my life” and was written in blood, sweat, and tears. It could be your neighbor, your barber or your Aunt or Uncle. Veterans come in all shapes and sizes and from every walk of life. Once the job is complete and they are civilians once again, there is a debt the Nation still owes them.
Since the inception of the Veterans Service Office, at the conclusion of the Civil war, it has been our mission to take care of and look after our Brothers and Sisters in arms. At the Granville County Veterans Service Office, we are still standing watch. The debt is being paid.
