First of all, Thank you to all of the Military families that have lost a loved one.
If you get a moment, there are 69 crosses displayed on the lawn of the Hart County Courthouse that represent a Hart County Citizen that gave their lives for the freedoms that we have today. Take a moment to walk by them and give thanks and teach your children what this means.
