Habersham County residents now have a meaningful way to celebrate the courage and sacrifice of local veterans. Habersham History is inviting families, friends, and community members to submit names, photographs, and service information to be displayed on the organization’s Virtual Wall of Honor, located at habershamhistory.org/veterans.
The Virtual Wall of Honor serves as a growing digital memorial, preserving the stories of servicemen and servicewomen with ties to Habersham County. The tribute spans every branch of the U.S. military and includes veterans from past and present conflicts.
“We created the Virtual Wall of Honor so future generations will know the names, faces, and stories of the heroes who defended our country,” the organization shared. “It is our responsibility—and our privilege—to ensure their legacy lives on.”
How to Participate
Anyone wishing to honor a veteran can submit an entry through the website. Visitors may send an email to veterans@habershamhistory.org:
- A photograph of the veteran
- The veteran’s name and branch of service
- Years of service (or conflict/era, if known)
- A short biography or personal note
- Medals Awarded
Both deceased and living veterans are welcome to be included. There is no cost to participate, and submissions may be made at any time.
Why It Matters
For many families, the Virtual Wall of Honor is more than a list of names—it is a place of remembrance, gratitude, and storytelling. The digital format ensures that veterans from Habersham County are recognized not just on Veterans Day or Memorial Day, but year-round.
Each entry adds to a historic archive that will grow in value for decades to come, providing a resource for students, researchers, families, and future generations who want to learn about the county’s military heritage.
