Veterans breakfast is set for Saturday
Pictured at July’s Veterans Breakfast at the Clinton Community Center are Martin Strones, USAF (Ret.), left, and Charlie Orr, U.S. Army (Ret.). Both are Vietnam veterans.
The chow line opens at 8:30 a.m. and there will be a program at 9 a.m. honoring veterans.
August’s event is sponsored by CNS Cares. The Clinch Bend Chapter of the Tennessee Society of Daughters of the American Revolution is this month’s doughnut sponsor.
These breakfasts are held to recognize and honor local veterans and their families for their service to the United States.
Many generous donors are also recognized for providing monthly door prizes.
Anderson County residents and community volunteers are working together to make the breakfasts 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.
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 breakfasts each month.
