Veterans Day

Image
Friend -- Veterans Day provides us with the chance to mark the debt of honor we owe to all those who have worn the uniform of the United States. We remember those who gave their lives beneath our flag, in service of our freedom. And with so many still fighting, we owe special thanks to the courageous families of those who serve. Because when our servicemen and women deploy overseas, their loved ones are left to undertake heroic battles of their own at home. The unique challenges they face in support of men and women in uniform allow us all to enjoy the freedoms of our democracy. Every time I have a chance to meet with these families, I'm struck by their strength and their quiet dignity -- they are truly some of the most selfless, courageous people I've met. And today is also a day to acknowledge the sacrifices these brave men and women make every day, and pray for the safe return of those they love. I've felt their calling personally, and I want to encourage Am

Oconee County HS among missing helmets at Georgia Dome - post season commences without Warriors

Although a dozen seasons have passed since the Oconee County Warriors undefeated State Championship football team, the Georgia Dome is seeking a helmet from all of the teams who have played in the artificial turf indoor stadium in Atlanta. Oconee County and Coach Mitch Davis were included on a list seeking a donation of a helmet for a display case inside of the facility that the Atlanta Falcons call home. I would imagine there is a pretty good chance that the North Oconee Titans will be donating a helmet after this post-season. But remember the Titans will have a stern test with an Atlanta road trip to the real Westminster in  an opener for the once beaten Bogart area school still reeling from a tragic and fatal auto accident this past weekend. Athens Academy is playing host to a playoff game this weekend against a 6-4 Mount Paran team in the narrow slice of Athens mailing address inside of Oconee County off of Hwy. 441 near the 10 Loop.
