The Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard Needs
Your Sponsorship and Support
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 becoming a sponsor of 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 burial sites, upkeep on the vans, squad detail equipment 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.

The Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard Would Like To

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 defens 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. Participate in our Day of Giving on October 11, 2017
from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to
help. During the Day of Giving, WATE 6 On Your Side will partner with
businesses and the
community to raise donations to provide the necessary means to allow for
all of our veteran’s and their
families to receive the honor of the send off they so greatly deserve.
The
Volunteer State Veterans Honor Guard and East Tennessee Veterans Honor Guard
