Captain Jeremy Alan Chandler, a U.S. Army Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha-High Altitude Low Opening team leader (Green Beret), was killed in action on Aug. 11, 2005, while serving his third deployment in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom). Jeremy’s parents, PebbleCreek residents Lieutenant Colonel Alan Chandler, U.S. Army retired, and Jonnie Chandler, established a memorial scholarship in their son’s honor at his alma mater, the University of North Georgia (UNG). To-date, twelve scholarship recipients have commissioned and are currently serving in the U.S. Army.
Al and Jonnie invite you to join them for a Charity Beer and Wine Tasting and Silent Auction on Saturday, Nov. 9, at Augie’s Sport Grill, located at 15605 W. Roosevelt St., from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
