Good morning, Sequatchie Valley Veterans! This Friday and Saturday, American Legion Post 190 - Dunlap, TN and VFW Post 5772 Dunlap, TN will be holding a fundraiser at the Walmart Supercenter in Dunlap. Along with collecting money to support our routine operations, we will be collecting donations for our annual Veteran Support Drive, supporting the VA Hospital and Fisher House in Murfreesboro and the Veterans' Home in Cleveland. Here is what is needed:

VA Hospital Murfreesboro

Highest need this year is for light and medium weight coats for men and women in sizes Med thru XL.

Men's white T-shirts sizes M through XXL
Men's boxer shorts sizes M through XL
Men's white crew socks.
Ladies' underwear sizes M through XL
Ladies' white socks and Bras (various sizes)

(Above items must be new and in original packaging.)

Colored items are acceptable if white is not available or if there is a substantial price differential.

In keeping with our mission of Veterans Serving Veterans, we are asking veterans specifically to contribute by purchasing fast food cards and Walmart gift cards ($20 increments) to support the TN Veterans Homes Murfreesboro and Cleveland and the Fisher House Murfreesboro.

We will deliver these items in early November, so we have just a little time to collect as much as we can.

Thank you for your support!
