Alamance County Veterans Services will sponsor the 3rd Annual Veterans Day Parade on Friday, November 11tn beginning at 1 PM in downtown Graham, North Carolina. We encourage all veterans and citizens to come out to honor those from our community who have served our country in the armed forces.
The Alamance County Register of Deeds Office kicked off its Thank a Veteran Program on Tuesday, November 1, 2016. The program encourages veterans to record their discharge papers (DD 214) with the Register of Deeds Office.
Once recorded, the veterans receive a card with their photo on it. The card is recognized by participating Alamance County business owners who have agreed to offer the veterans a discount or an incentive to patronize their business.
The event was highlighted by refreshments and vendors from other county offices like the tax department, Veterans Services, the library, and Alamance Community College.
Its success was evident in the turnout (close to 100 discount cards were issued) and in the camaraderie amongst the veterans who were clearly happy with being recognized for the sacrifices they have made for their country.
The Thank a Veteran Program is a free, permanent program. Veterans can record their DD 214s and receive their discount cards between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, except holidays. Any questions from veterans or business owners wishing to participate can be directed to the Register of Deeds Office at 336-570-6565.
WASHINGTON, DC – The Board of Directors of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC), including Alamance County Commissioner Bob Byrd, recently concluded their historic trip to Washington, D.C. at the invitation of Senator Thom Tillis. NCACC Board members from across North Carolina spent two days in the nation’s capital to meet with the state’s top federal
elected officials, including Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Richard Burr (R-NC), and members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The group also held its first Board meeting of the 2016-17 presidential year at the National Association of Counties’ headquarters.
The County Commissioners also met with top private sector leaders, federal government officials, and senior members of Senator Tillis’ staff to engage in discussions covering a wide range of issues, including the federal budget and appropriation process, the impact of mental health on public safety, the need to expand broadband access in rural communities, as well as national security and the defense industry.
Commissioner Bob Byrd said: “It is really important that local, state, and federal governments work together to address issues at the local level. I appreciated Senator Tillis reaching out to the counties across the state. This was a worthwhile trip and a great opportunity to network with other County Commissioners.”
Senator Thom Tillis said: “I enjoyed welcoming county commissioners from across North Carolina to the nation’s capital to discuss critical issues confronting our local communities, including the need to implement federal regulatory reform, and improve intragovernmental cooperation to combat the heroin and opioid epidemic,” said Senator Tillis. “The needs of each and every county in North Carolina is unique, and I look forward to continuing to partner with county commissioners and other local officials to support initiatives and policies that help their communities innovate and thrive.”
Senator Richard Burr said: “It is always a pleasure to visit with North Carolinians dedicated to helping the people and communities of our state succeed. North Carolina’s county commissioners are the folks on the ground working every day to find solutions to the problems our communities face. I look forward to continuing to work with them to help North Carolina’s economy grow and create jobs.”
