Each November 11th, our nation pauses to honor the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar, it’s a time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of those who have defended our freedom, both at home and abroad.
Here in Oldham County, we’re proud to have deep roots of service and patriotism. Generations of families from our community have answered the call, representing every branch of the military with pride. Their commitment reminds us that the freedoms we enjoy every day were secured by ordinary citizens who performed extraordinary acts of service.
As we observe Veterans Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to thank a veteran, whether through a handshake, a heartfelt note, or by attending a local ceremony. Small gestures of appreciation can mean so much to those who gave so much.
Let’s also remember the families of our veterans. Their support and sacrifice behind the scenes are an essential part of the story of service.
From all of us at the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce, we extend our deepest gratitude to our veterans and active-duty service members. Your courage continues to inspire us and strengthen the spirit of our community.
Thank you for your service.
In collaboration with our local school districts, the American Legion, and the courthouse, I have compiled a comprehensive list of Veterans from Oldham County. If you are aware of any Veterans who may have been omitted, please contact me at info@oldhamcofc.org so they can be appropriately included in our honorary list.
