Chesnee Honors Local Military Personnel

The Chesnee community has been blessed with several brave young men and women who selflessly serve and continue to serve our great country. To show our appreciation for those in military service, we would like to honor these local young adults by featuring a photo and some information about them on our web site. If you have a loved one that you would like for us to honor, please contact Tina Ledford at Chesnee Communications at 864-461-2211, or e-mail tledford@chesnet.net. Please send us a photo and some brief information about the individual. Thank you.

who gave his life on

September 10, 2009

 

Greater love has no man
than this, than to lay
down one’s life for
his friends.
(John 15:13)

 

We are so proud of all the young men and women from Chesnee and around the Country who are willing to sacrifice unselfishly for us to enjoy the freedoms we have. Our Prayers are that God will put a hedge of thorns around them and protect them until they return home to their families and loved ones.
