County veterans invited to community breakfast April 8
Veteran Charlie Orr shows a picture of him during the early days of Oak Ridge.
The breakfast, hosted by Anderson County citizens, is locally sponsored this month by Nuclear Care Partners.
The breakfast will be held at the Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks St., Clinton.
The chow line opens at 8:30 a.m. and there will be a brief program at 9 a.m. honoring veterans.
All of the veterans breakfasts recognize and honor local veterans and their families for their service to the United States.
Anderson County residents and community volunteers are working to make the breakfast a free monthly event that will allow veterans of all ages and branches to fellowship and share stories together.
Veterans are welcome to bring spouses, family, or friends with them.
The city of Clinton is recognized as a special sponsor for hosting the monthly location and setup.
Local media are especially recognized for their role in letting veterans know about the breakfast each month.
Many generous donors are also recognized for providing monthly door prizes.
Coming up: The May 13 breakfast is sponsored by Anderson County American Legion Post 172 and American Legion Riders Post 172; June 10 is sponsored by Ray Varner Ford; July 8 is open; Aug. 12 is sponsored by Travis McCarter; Sept. 9 is sponsored by Alexander Guest House.
