Battle Cross Crusaders 'Photo with a Vet' During Apple n' Pork

A non-profit organization used the Apple n' Pork Festival as a means to promote patriotism and veterans awareness.

 

Jeff Morlock, the founder of Battle Cross Crusaders, indicated in addition to selling food during the festival they had a unique opportunity for the youth of the community to interact with local veterans.


 

Morlock said the purpose of Battle Cross Crusaders is to show appreciation to veterans for their service to our country. Some of the ways they do that is by lining funeral processions with flags, honor parades, and Library of Congress veteran interviews.

 

 

Dick Wagers, a Vietnam veteran, and a Purple Heart recipient noted the community has been very appreciative of what Battle Cross Crusaders are doing for local veterans. Wagers is also a lifelong Clinton resident and he gave his thoughts on the Apple n' Pork Festival.

 

 

Morlock said they are always looking for volunteers who want to give back to veterans and their communities. More information on Battle Cross Crusaders can be found on their Facebook page.
