Hopkinsville, Christian County thank veterans

Rain canceled this year’s Hopkinsville Veterans Honor Parade, but a good crowd still gathered in the War Memorial Building to thank those who have served and preserved freedom for us all.

Mayor Wendell Lynch and Judge-Executive Steve Tribble read a proclamation for Veterans Day, with the mayor thanking the active duty military service members and veterans in the crowd.

Robbie Sipes with the Christian County Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee says we should all make a point to be thankful for veterans throughout the year.

Christian County High School won the JROTC Challenge Award and VFW Post 1913 Commander John Brame invited the community to its annual service coming up Friday morning at 11 at its post off Skyline Drive in Hopkinsville.
