It is with great sadness that I report that Comrade George Harkins died this past weekend as a result of a motorcycle accident. George was a friend, mentor and an avid supporter of supporting veterans in the community. He will be missed! Here are the details for his funeral service: Date: Sunday, August 15, 2021 Location: McKoon's Funeral Home, Newnan, Georgia Visitation will be from 2:00 - 4:00 pm Service begins at 4:00 pm followed by a short, gravesite service. There will be a reception at the Coweta Veterans Club following the service. The social quarters will be open. Please keep the entire Harkins Family in you prayers. There has been an update to this list and I'm inserting a picture of it with the contact information. Guardsman Furniture Pro is looking for help in his furniture restoration business. The owner said that he'd love to hire a veteran.
I attended last weekend's Quilts of Valor presentation and it was a great experience as always. I met Jacob Watkins, the founder of Operation Tackle Box, a family owned and operated team that focuses on planning out Fishing Expeditions for our veterans. They have full plans for helping Veterans get what they need: G.I bill, VA claims, absolutely anything and everything they can do, they will do. I'm attaching the link to their website as well as pictures of the front and back of Jacob's business card. I have invited Jacob to speak at our next Post/Joint meeting about his organization. Thanks for everything that you do. Operation Tackle Box It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Past All-State Post Commander and dear comrade Willis Byrd last weekend. Godspeed, comrade. Godspeed.  |
