Purple Heart breakfast a grand occasion

Each year at the Veterans Day holiday time, the staff at Oconee Veterans Affairs look forward to arranging a breakfast to recognize Oconee County veterans who’ve been awarded the Purple Heart—to signify having been wounded in war or a conflict with a United States enemy. “We have a Purple Heart chapter here….and there’s about 30-40 members here,” Jerry Dyar, county veterans affairs officer, told 96.3/WGOG NEWS.
