At Saturday’s monthly Veterans Appreciation Breakfast with approximately 150 in attendance, members of Isotek’s Support the Troops Committee presented the Anderson County High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program with a donation of $500 to help further the JROTC program.

Each month, with the help of the City of Clinton and their sponsorship of the location, citizens come together for a free breakfast in honor of our veterans.

September’s breakfast was sponsored by Isotek and cadets from ACHS JROTC served as the breakfast volunteers.

In addition to Isotek’s show of support for the JROTC program, a stirring speech was delivered by local resident Lt. Colonel Jim Medley (U.S. Army, Retired).

Also a part of the program was a presentation on the organization Smoky Mountain Service Dogs. Chairman Mike Kitchens delivered remarks about the program and trainer Laurie Brit and service dog Hooligan showed the crowd some of the many ways service dogs can assist wounded Veterans.

The mission of Smoky Mountain Service Dogs is to enhance the physical and psychological quality of life for wounded Veterans by providing custom-trained mobility assistance service dogs (at no cost to the Veteran).
