Levy County’s Veterans Wall of Honor is expanding thanks to added space within the county’s courthouse.
Clerk of Court Danny Shipp provided the added space.
Today, veterans and families of those lost in service dedicated the wall and Gold Star families of Levy County veterans spoke on behalf of their loved ones.
District 5 Commissioner and Army veteran Matt Brooks says this is one of many events to celebrate veterans over the next couple of days and encourages everyone to take a moment to “take an hour out of your day and go and show up to one of these events and go and look a veteran in the eye and say thank you. That’s all they really want is just to say thank you.”
