Breakfast buffet raises funds to support military families

JACKSON, Tenn. — A special breakfast was made to support military families.

A breakfast buffet was held to raise money to support the families of soldiers who were recently deployed.

About a month ago, a group with the National Guard 194th Engineering Brigade was deployed to the Middle East, sending about 150 troops.

“So the VFW on Airways 6496 is helping to do this,” said Senator Ed Jackson of District 27. “They’re implementing the emergency in case something happens, so that’s the purpose of this.”

“As simple as something breaking that the military system is not able to help them with. We want to be sure and do that,” said Robert Jones, member with VFW Post 6496.

The troops will be in the Middle East for a year.
