Clinton AmVets To Visit Danville VA Hospital

It's a yearly effort the Veterans of DeWitt County take on, when they go visit their peers at the Danville Veterans Affairs Hospital.
 
Communications Coordinator for the Clinton AmVets Post 14, Darrell Tucker, indicates the post sets aside approximately $1000 yearly to provide funding for veterans of the hospital and their yearly trip is today.
 
 
According to Tucker, the AmVets try to make a couple visits to the VA Hospital and Post Commander, Jesse Owens indicates they have some community backing with this trip as well.
 
 
For Tucker, the visits to the VA hospital in Danville means veterans are taken care of. He calls it an emotional time for him.
 
 
The efforts by the AmVets at the Power Station last week yielded $1400 more for the trip over to the VA Hospital.
 
Additionally, the AmVets will be taking donations for toiletries from the community as well as clothes that were donated.
