The Cumberland County Vietnam Veterans will conduct a public auction Feb. 23 at the VFW Post 5025 on Hwy. 127 South to help raise monies for the March 29-30 "Welcome Home and Thank You" event in Crossville.
Governor Bredesen has proclaimed March 29 as Vietnam Veterans Day and local veterans are planning a parade and celebration March 29-30 to honor all Vietnam veterans and their families. A large turn-out is expected for the event featuring a wide variety of parade participants, speakers and entertainers.
The Feb. 23 auction will begin at 12:30 p.m. and anyone who has new or like new items they would like to donate are asked to call Merry at 200-0354 or Tom at 484-9336 for pick-up. The Veterans group is a tax exempt organization and all proceeds from the auction will be used to support the March event. All funds from that event will be used to benefit our veterans.
Everyone is asked to support our veterans with donations and attend the auction. Additional information is available at www.ccvietnamvets.com.
