The Elizabethton Star would like to express our deepest thanks to all veterans. Your courage and dedication to our country is truly an inspiration. This Memorial Day, we at the Star would like to take the opportunity to remember those in our community who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of this great nation. Listed below are the names of Carter County veterans who died in combat. The names of these heroes can be found engraved in marble in the War Memorial located in downtown.
