Calling All Veterans in Sumpter

We have a large group of Veterans living up here in Sumpter that range from WWII to Present, Vietnam Vets, Disabled Vets, Retired Veterans. We should be proud of all Veterans whether they are retired or disabled, makes no differance. If you have been in the Military, you have served your country and that's all that matters. Anyone who served their country are Veterans. Certainly, we reserve a kind of elevated status for those that have been to war. But I have not found any Veterans yet that are proud they went to war. They are proud of the service to their country, of the hardships they endured while serving, but not for the killing. Noone wants to have to do that. So, stands to reason that anyone who served their country, whether during a war or peacetime, or were able to retire after a long career or a disability forced them to end their service early, they are Veterans. So, whether you are retired, disabled, old or young....and you live in Sumpter-we want to hear from you! Join us at the next Coffee Break!

  1. The Coffee Break was enjoyable! It was nice to hear the stories and ideas. The idea of the Veterans taking care of the Sumpter Cemetary is good one I think!
