On Wednesday, Nov. 11, veterans, their families and local leaders from across the community gathered at the Orange County Veterans Memorial in Chapel Hill to celebrate Veterans Day. The event featured speakers including Orange County Board of Commissioners Chair Jean Hamilton, Representative Renée Price, Retired U.S. Navy Captain John Cocowitch and Retired U.S. Army Colonel Fred Black. The Veterans Day address was delivered by U.S. Air Force Colonel and North Carolina Deputy Secretary of State Brooke Schmidly. She spoke about the difficulties that come with service, and how overcoming those difficulties has been extremely rewarding for both her and the veterans she knows. The ceremony ended with recognition of veterans whose names have been added to pavers at the base of the memorial, as well as all veterans in attendance.
