Franklin County Looking for Oldest Living Veteran

Franklin County is looking for the oldest living veteran – in the county.

The County is planning a dedication ceremony on November 13 of the new Veterans and First Responder Memorial in downtown Carnesville.

Franklin County Derrick Turner says the plan is to honor that veteran and other older veterans at the ceremony in November.

Speaking to the Board of Commissioners in June, Turner said he and officials from the five municipalities are all working together on the November ceremony.

He said it’s part of a larger plan to encourage more community involvement.

Turner said the Veterans Memorial Dedication ceremony will not interfere with any other events scheduled by municipalities in November.

He also noted the sale of bricks at the memorial is still on.

If you know of an older veteran who should be honored in November you can contact Franklin County Clerk Kayla Finger at 706-384-2483.
