Free cookout supports local veterans

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The veterans appreciation cookout turned out to be more than just a barbecue.

The clinic honored many veterans and their families for their service and the countless sacrifices made for the people of this country. It brought the community together while taking the time to display appreciation for the ones who are still with us and the ones we lost too soon.

Don Butler, a retired veteran says, “It’s a matter of we earned it. All veterans earn everything that we get and receive. We are very appreciative of that. Just for all the POWs NIAs who can’t be with us, they are not forgotten.
