The Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Veterans Day tribute Thursday for veterans and active duty service members. It was a Military Briefing Luncheon at the Air Dominance Center. The tribute is held the day after Veterans Day because many people are busy with parades and other ceremonies on the holiday.

“There's no better relationship between the community and our soldiers and airmen than right here in Savannah, Georgia.”

Maj. Gen. Richard "Dwayne" Wilson, 44th adjutant general of the Georgia National Guard
  • Who came: regional business leaders, military officials and community partners
  • Recognized: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard
