A small group of members presented
him with a plaque and patch in his office.
According to their website, “The
Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard was assembled to offer our last tribute of
respect and affection to our departed comrades by providing military funeral
honors to all East Tennessee county veterans who are honorably discharged,
without regard to rank, sex, color, creed, or national origin.”
The honorary membership the mayor received is for members of the community who don’t qualify to join
the group, but are outstanding supporters and advocates for veterans, officials said.
