City seeks residents help with Veteran’s Day markers

Milton will again display commemorative markers for the two weeks surrounding Veterans Day, Nov. 11, and the city is asking residents to help out. Over the past four years, the city has amassed a list of 463 living and fallen veterans, 261 memorialized with markers placed along Deerfield Parkway. Any deceased veteran of a Milton family is qualified to be honored with a marker.

Residents are being asked to complete the rolls by filling out a form available at City Hall or on the city’s web site, www.cityofmiltonga.us, to have a relative honored for his or her military service.

Information: 678-242-2500.
