How many veterans live in Georgia? These counties have most who served

Today is Veteran's Day when the country celebrates the service of millions of men and women from every state across the decades. From World War II to the Gulf Wars, families will honor the servicemembers who are — and aren't — still with us this year, including thousands who call Georgia home. There are more than 600,000 veterans living in the Peach State, as of 2024, or about 5,300 veterans per 100,000 people. Across all 159 counties, that means veterans are your neighbors, teachers, service workers and more. Here's a look at the Georgia counties with the highest number of veteran residents, according to Stacker . Where are veterans living in Georgia? Alaska, Virginia and Montana have the highest concentration of veteran residents, but Georgia has no shortage of former servicemembers. Here's a look at the top 5 counties for veteran residents, as of 2024 U.S. Census data. The rankings are determined by percentage of the county's total population, not total number of veterans: Liberty County (19.5%) Korean War: 73 Vietnam War: 1,486 Gulf War (1990-2001): 3,440 Gulf War (post-2001): 4,328 Chattahoochee County (18.9%) Vietnam War: 64 Gulf War (1990-2001): 86 Gulf War (post-2001): 248 Quitman County (17%) Vietnam War:

Drivers can use digital licenses in Georgia — but here's the catch

Georgia drivers may be able to show their driver's license using their smartphone during a traffic stop , but there is one important limitation: Not every law enforcement agency in the state accepts digital licenses. The Georgia Department of Driver Services says the Georgia State Patrol is currently the only law enforcement agency in Georgia accepting digital driver's licenses and identification cards. The clarification comes as the state's digital ID program continues to grow. DDS announced Sept. 17 that nearly 800,000 customers had added a digital driver's license or ID to their smartphone wallets since the program launched in May 2023. Although the digital credential is a valid driver's license, DDS advises drivers to continue carrying their physical cards until digital licenses are more widely accepted. Here's everything to know. Can you show a digital driver's license during a Georgia traffic stop? Yes, if you are stopped by the Georgia State Patrol. According to DDS, drivers who want to present their Georgia digital driver's license through their smartphone wallet should tell the officer their license is stored in their digital wallet and wait for instructions. Drivers do not need to hand their smartphones to officers to present their digital identification.
