Posted at 4:17 pm April 3, 2017
By Oak Ridge Today Staff 4 Comments

CLINTON—Military veterans from Anderson County are once again invited to come together this weekend for a community Veterans Breakfast, a press release said.

The breakfast, hosted by Anderson County citizens, is sponsored this month by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 12051 of Oak Ridge. The breakfast will be held this Saturday, April 8, at the Clinton Community Center. “Chow line” opens at 8:30 a.m., and there will be a brief program at 9 a.m.

All of the Veterans Breakfasts recognize and honor local veterans and their families for their service to the United States, the press release said.

“Anderson County residents and community volunteers are working together to make the breakfast a free monthly event that will allow veterans all ages and branches to fellowship and share stories together,” the press release said. “The City of Clinton is recognized as a special sponsor for hosting the monthly location and set up.”

May’s breakfast will mark the one-year anniversary of the monthly Veterans Appreciation Breakfast, and it will be sponsored by Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally and Representative John Ragan. June’s breakfast is being sponsored by the Apple Blossom Café in Clinton, and July’s Breakfast will be sponsored by Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group. If you are interested in sponsoring a future Veterans Breakfast, contact Terry Frank at (865) 310-4097.
