MOULTRIE — Colquitt County veterans gathered for the annual Veterans Day Breakfast Saturday at Charlie A. Gray Junior High School. The event was sponsored by Moultrie Bank & Trust, and Beverly Kimbrell and the Charlie A. Gray Junior High School cafeteria team were recognized for preparing a wonderful breakfast each year for the veterans and their families; there is no fee to attend, but donations are accepted. Tom Cox, president of the South Georgia Veterans of Activities & Events, opened the annual event, Jim Soos led the opening prayer, and the colors were presented by the Colquitt County High School Junior ROTC. Each military branch was represented; military-themed songs were played, and veterans who served in that branch stood while their song played. Jane Massey of The Moultrie Observer spoke about the Colquitt County Hometown Heroes banners, noting that Downtown Moultrie Tomorrow, Inc. is honoring community veterans by placing banners throughout the downtown area.
