On Friday, December 13th, 2019 members of Columbia VFW Post 6097 delivered a Christmas fruit basket and a blanket to nine shut-in/WWIl veterans in Adair and Russell Counties.
According to Joe Hare, they are aware there are other WWII veterans and Post 6097 hopes to honor more of them in the future. If you know of a WWll veteran, please call Columbia VFW Post 6097 at 270-384-3988 and leave their information.
