My walk today was dedicated in honor of:
Army Veteran Hubert Tollett, Age 67 of Crossville, TN.
July 16, 1988
He was in the European theater. He drove a tank. Was wounded in Holland. Was with the T.D.Company D 1944-45 took shrapnel to his knee. He was very proud to have served and extremely patriotic.

His daughter still has her daddy’s telegrams he sent while in Europe and the telegraph when he was wounded. He also wrote poetry while in Europe.
Mr Hubert had 4 brothers and all 5 served. Him and 2 brothers all served at the same time in WWll
We had an amazing walk this morning. Hi daughter walked with us till we reached the war memorials down town where we met another family member. It was a great walk. After we left the war memorial park we went to the Crossville City Cemetery where we visited a few of our veterans who have passed away.
I want to thank everyone who honked and waved this morning in helping me honor this hero. It was amazing.
He will not be forgotten !
I grew up a few hundred yards down the road from Mr. Tollett. He was a fine man. Thank you for remembering him.
