The breakfast, hosted by Anderson County citizens, is locally sponsored this month by a political candidate for a state office.
In addition to door prizes and the breakfast sponsorship, a new doughnut sponsorship has been added. July’s sponsor is Regina Copeland.
The breakfast will be held at the Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks Street.
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 together 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 regular monthly door prizes.
