Years of hard work are finally paying off for the Augusta veteran community.
Commissioners announced that Augusta would finally be receiving a veteran’s cemetery. The announcement comes after the city finally secured federal funding to invest in the project. The cemetery will be the third veteran’s cemetery in the state of Georgia and the state’s largest once it is complete. Commissioner Don Clark, who has been at the forefront of the movement to secure an Augusta cemetery, says that he is honored to finally see this vision come to life.
