Today our walk was dedicated in honor of:
Army Veteran Carl Jones,Age 70 of Crossville, Tn.
Died May 12, 2000
Carl was born in Roane County on Nov. 22, 1929 and then moved to Crossville as a child.
He served in the 82nd Airborne Infantry during the Korean conflict and honorably discharged.
Married Billie Jo Hodge in 1952 and raised 5 children.
He was a painter and maintenance worker at Cumberland Medical Center where he retired.
He is buried in the Crossville City Cemetery.
We had a great 6.43 Mile walk this morning. We walked by the Army National Guard Armory and then headed to the Crossville City Cemetery where we placed a flag. We visited a few Fallen Brothers before we headed out. Before heading home we stopped at the War Memorial Park down town. I want to thank TriGreen Equipment for flying our beautiful colors. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today and I want to thank everyone that honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero today. We had 88 honks this morning. It was amazing. Thank you.
Army Veteran Carl Jones will not be forgotten !
