Veterans Honored At Chamber of Commerce Luncheon

Lunch Sponsored By Patton Funeral Home at the Heritage Centre

It is common for the Edmonson County Chamber of Commerce to host free luncheons and other similar events throughout the year but today's lunch event was for the purpose of extending gratitude to one group of special folks; local veterans and their families.

While the event was free to the public, as most all Chamber events, local vets and their families were honored first and served by Chamber members and other volunteers. Patton Funeral Home sponsored the event that was held at the Heritage Centre, across from the funeral home.

Andrea Brantley of Patton Funeral Home along with several others, including members of the DAV Auxiliary, spent their time at the event serving the veterans.

"It's our pleasure to do this," she said. "We are so happy to have this opportunity today for all our veterans."

Chamber Director Greg Hudson, who retired after 20 years of service as a Marine gunnery sergeant in mechanized infantry, said it was an honor for the Chamber of Commerce to host the event.

"We're very glad for the turnout, despite the rainy weather," he said. "We want to honor our veterans and their families and the very least we can do is say 'thank you' by serving them lunch."
