The Chatham Veterans Memorial volunteer group extends its sincere thanks to the Joe Wagner VFW of Pittsboro, Brightest Light and the local DAV for their support of this year’s event.
Their contributions—along with the support of everyone who purchased a memorial cross or Star of David—make it possible to honor our Veterans in this manner. Proceeds from this event will be donated to each of these groups.
