Kennedy PC Repair Service Announcement paid advertisement: Kennedy PC Repair has announced that it will permanently close beginning in 2027 and will no longer provide residential or business computer repair services. After twenty years of serving families, businesses, students, retirees, and local residents, business owner James Kennedy explains that the decision comes after prayer, reflection, and a careful review of major changes in the technology repair industry. Key reasons include the lower cost of replacing devices, rising travel and operating expenses, manufacturer restrictions, sealed device designs, reduced demand due to warranties and national service programs, faster turnaround expectations, and growing security and liability concerns. Through the end of 2026, Kennedy PC Repair will continue honoring scheduled appointments as availability allows. James expresses his sincere appreciation for customers, neighbors, friends, family, and the Edmonson County community, emphasizing gratitude for twenty years of trust, loyalty, referrals, and lasting relationships. More information, including an extended announcement and video, is available at kennedypcrepair.com.

Edmonson Voice Report:
VFW National Commander In Chief Carol Whitmire in Kansas City, this week notified Edmonson County’s own VFW Post 6937 Commander Edwin Vincent, that Post 6937 has been designated as an All-American Post for the 2025-26 year. Last month, the VFW Department of Kentucky designated Post 6937 as All State, an honor shared by only a few other Kentucky Posts. "This is the 8th time our small Post has been awarded All American and this is the 6th year in a row," said the Post in a press release. "This honor is the highest award the VFW offers and it represents a year of leadership, hard work, and adherence to worthy goals and standards." The Veterans of Foreign Wars was established after veterans of the 1898 War with Spain returned to the United States bearing wounds and illnesses (primarily Yellow Fever), as well as the burden of taking care of the widows and orphans of their wartime comrades for which the nation at that time had absolutely no safety net. They initially organized locally, but by 1915 they became a nationwide organization which helped establish a fledgling VA by the time the Doughboys returned from WWI. Before WWII was concluded, they helped establish the GI Bill and they have been in the forefront of national legislative, as well as practical local efforts to help veterans ever since. "Here in Edmonson County, VFW Post 6937 is most visible to the community in providing burial honors for veterans, conducting flag training to 4th Graders, patriotic speaking and writing contests in the schools, providing Veteran’s Day at the High School, and honors at significant community events, such as the Memorial Day ceremony in the Courthouse square, cleaning neglected veteran graves in the Mammoth Cave National Park, and this year for the first time, placing banners honoring local veterans along the streets of Brownsville," the Post stated. "Our Post meets on the third Monday of each month at 6:30 pm at the Lion’s Club (while the Edmonson County Library is being refurbished). If you are an honorably discharged veteran with a campaign medal from any overseas conflict, please join us."
