The breakfast, hosted by Anderson County citizens, is locally sponsored this month by Oak Ridge Moose Lodge 1316 and Women of the Moose 1062.
The breakfast will be held Saturday, July 8, at the Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks St.
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 will 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 allows veterans 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.

• Aug. 12 is sponsored by Travis McCarter,
• Sept. 9 is sponsored by Alexander Guest House.
• Oct. 14 is sponsored by Humana-Keith Rogers.
• Nov. 11 is sponsored by Daniel Forrester Law Office.
