Today was truly a blessing as we had the opportunity to visit with our local Veterans at area assisted living and nursing home facilities. Spending time with these men and women who have served our country is always an honor.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers who joined us today: Thomas Bruner, Dr. Pelley, Brandi Ritter with Ascension Life, and Todd Humbert with The Greenhouse Church. Your willingness to serve alongside us makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our Veterans.

We were also honored to present Certificates of Appreciation to several of our outstanding community partners: The Groves at Athens, Morning Pointe of Athens - Assisted Living, Spring Arbor of Athens, and Rhonetta Shelton at NHC Healthcare Athens. Thank you for your continued dedication and support of our Veteran community.

We are incredibly grateful for our volunteers and community partners. Your compassion, generosity, and commitment help make our mission possible. We simply couldn’t do what we do without each of you.

Thank you for helping us honor those who have served.

Thank you to Spring Arbor of Athens for hosting our veterans today for a wonderful day of fishing, fellowship, and connection. Many fish were caught, even more stories were shared, and a great meal was enjoyed by all.

We would also like to recognize Dr. Angel Freeman and Lane from Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s office for joining us and continuing to show their support for our local veterans. Your presence and commitment mean so much to our veteran community.

Our office could not do the work we do without the incredible support of community partners and volunteers who make sure our veterans are cared for, appreciated, and never forgotten.

Thank you to everyone who helps us continue serving those who have served.
