The program was started by Mr. Y. B. Ashby many years ago and we need people to help relieve him of some of the responsibilities associated with the program. See the link below on the life and efforts Mr. Ashby has provided over the years to creating the Grundy County Veterans Historical Society.

Among the many topics, the group has discussed a membership drive, developing a "Wall of Veterans, and incorporating the students of Grundy County into a membership contest with prizes to the top students.

The group is also looking for volunteers who will serve on a funeral team, and will attend funerals of local service men and women. They would be asked to take photos, and play the electronic bugle if the honor guard is not available.

Grundy Co. Veterans Historical Society is also looking for an attorney that will volunteer his or her services to help with the necessary paperwork for becoming a 501C3 non-profit organization.

The Society also is looking for individuals that would be willing to help with some renovations to the Veterans Historical Society building at the old Palmer Church of Christ which was donated to the Society by Tennessee Consolidated Coal Company for the purpose of recognizing our Veterans.

As noted there is much to be done. We have no way of knowing if someone has served in the military unless someone tells us. Please contact a member to participate. Information should include the veteran's name, branch of service, years of service, living or deceased, along with a brief story of their life and the contact person's name and number.
