Honorably Discharged: Veterans, We Salute You!

In celebration of Veterans Day, the St. Johns County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller’s Office is honored to present the Honorably Discharged Exhibit, a virtual tribute dedicated to the brave men and women who served our nation during World War II. This special exhibit honors those who not only defended our freedoms but also entrusted their discharge certificates to our office for safekeeping, creating a lasting legacy of their sacrifice.

Before the now-standard DD Form 214 was adopted in 1950, veterans received discharge certificates in various forms, each one representing a unique chapter in their journey and commitment. This exhibit offers a glimpse into these historical records, which stand as profound symbols of service and sacrifice.

We invite you to explore this presentation and learn about the extraordinary lives and contributions of our veterans. As we reflect on their stories, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served, from the past to the present. Your courage, resilience, and dedication inspire us daily and remind us of the freedoms we hold dear. Watch here.

To our veterans—thank you for your service. We salute you, today and always.
