Community comes together for Veterans Day

Camp Jack held a day of events that began with a hearty, free breakfast and ended with a patriotic parade around the square. In between, veterans shared fellowship, heard from speakers, and graciously accepted the thanks of a grateful community. Breakfast, replete with biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, bacon and pancakes, was provided by the American Legion. Hundreds filed through until everyone who wanted some had gotten some. The Arky Logical Fiddle Band kept the mood festive, causing many a foot, cane, and hand to tap along to their energetic tunes. The next event featured guest speaker, retired Marine Corps Sergeant Major Lance Nutt, who spoke to the audience about sacrifice, service, and adventure. SgtMaj Nutt is the founder of Sheep Dog Impact Assistance, a national not-for-profit organization that assists in transforming the lives of military members, veterans, first responders and their families through posttraumatic growth.
