Donations to Honor Guard
Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard We are in need of your support. As a completely non-profit organization, the Honor Guard must seek support outside of itself if we are to continue this vital service to our Veterans. By donating money to the Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard you can be assured that your monetary contribution will be used in the spirit it is given. Gasoline for transportation to and from the internment sites, upkeep on the Honor Guard vans, maintaining weapons, uniforms and office expenses, are all examples of where your dollar will go. The Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard operates from public support and private donations. We are chartered under the jurisdiction and laws of the State of Tennessee. Chartered August 7, 1987. We are State and Federal Tax Exempt. Your support will be greatly appreciated. Your contribution is Tax Deductible. ~
Operation Honor Guard | WATE 6 On Your Side Takes a couple of minutes to load They served. They still serve today.When our military puts on their uniform, they commit to a life of service, dedication and sacrifice, all in defense of something bigger than themselves. As citizens of the nation they so nobly defend, it is our privilege and responsibility to stand behind them, ready and willing to provide them any support necessary. This doesn’t end when these soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines take their last breath. Nearly every day of the year, you can find a group of volunteers standing guard and performing military rites at veteran’s funerals in East Tennessee. This group of volunteers is known as the Honor Guard. The Honor Guard serves our nation’s veteran’s on any day, at any time, in any weather condition without any compensation. The American Legion Posts that support these Honor Guards have a number of costs associated with their service including the cost of flags, uniforms, transportation, guns and ammunition. On average, there are seven to eight Honor Guard members at each military funeral. It takes over $800 to completely outfit each honor guard member. Help WATE 6 On Your Side fund honor guards throughout Eastern Tennessee. ~ Send Donations to: Volunteer State War Era Veterans Honor Guard P.O. Box 22122 Knoxville, Tennessee 37933
