Chairman Marion discussed attending a Veterans Day celebration at the First Presbyterian Church in Mount Airy, followed by a Veterans Day luncheon at Veterans Memorial Park." - March 2, 2026: the budget-ordinance amendment's VETERAN GRANT (grant project fund 38, department 54937) lines: "EXPENSES 3854937 52010 Supplies & Materials 18,289 19,700 37,989 ... REVENUE 3844937 43359 State Veterans Grant 0 19,700 19,700" - the State veterans grant the county office spends. - September 8, 2026: a grant-project-fund amendment adding 5,515 of State Veterans revenue (3844937 43359) and expense (3854937 52010) to the VETERAN GRANT department. - The FY2026 budget ordinance (in the 2025 Combined Minutes): "10-5820 Veterans Service Office 272,275" in the General Fund expenditures; the same book carries "10-4197 Resource Center Building - Mt.

No veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed; the grant amendments fund the office's State programmes and the rest is recognition. The county's meeting archive also carries a standing Veterans Day holiday listing.
