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 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. 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, East Tennessee Veterans Honor Guard and
Pigeon Forge Honor Guard would like to thank the
following sponsors and the people of the Knoxville and Sevierville Tennessee, and
the surrounding area for supporting us.
