The Fulton County Veterans Court, established just a year ago, got a boost Wednesday night when 15 new volunteers signed up to serve as mentors to vets served by the growing program. The additions doubled the number of mentors in the program.

Jackson Bedford and Todd Markle, and others involved in the program.
