Comrade Charles I. Kennedy passed away at approximately 1000 hours this morning.
He was inducted into the Army at Maxwell Air Force Base on March 25, 1952 and served in the US Army 25th Infantry Division, 27th Infantry Regiment, Company L, 3rd Platoon until February 17, 1954. He enjoyed the students at Newnan High School Student-Vet Connect, helping out at the golf tournament and supporting the Coweta Veterans Club. Thank you for your service to our country as well as our organizations and activities. He was definitely a proud veteran. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mr. Charles. Mr Charles memorial service will be at McKoon Funeral Home on Jackson St, Newnan on Monday, July 20th at 4:00 pm. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Coweta Veterans Club, 501c19 @ paypal.me/CVCNewnan. Our goal was to make sure our members and local veterans weren't sitting at home alone on this traditionally family-oriented holiday. We had a great time taking care of each other. If you missed it this year, plan to be here next. The VFW Auxiliary completed their mission to fill purses for homeless female veterans tonight. Great job Auxiliary! MSG Jordan Brown was named as the Coweta County Veteran of the Year.
Little ghosts and goblins made their way to the CVC tonight for a great time. Thanks to everyone who came out and to those who volunteered to make it happen. Our auxiliaries rock!
