Induction class of 2025
On Sept. 21st, 2025 the Laurens County Hall of Heroes held its first joint induction ceremony for Veterans and First Responders. We were honored and proud to induct 6 well deserving Veterans and 6 well deserving First Responders. We had a nice crowd of inductees, family and friends, along with State and County Dignitaries and our special guest speaker, Laurens County Director of Emergency Management, Socrates B. “Sonny” Ledda, who is a Veteran and retired First Responder.
The Laurens County Hall of Heroes would like to thank the inductees, their family and friends, the State and County Dignitaries, the sponsors of the event, our special guest speaker and the general public who showed up to help honor and support these newly inducted members
