Honoring Those Who served
Vet to Vet Tennessee pledges a $500.00 yearly donation to the Bradley County Veterans Funeral Honor Guard on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. John Thomason traveled to the Bob Hatley Veterans Service Center in Madisonville to recruit support for vehicle upkeep and maintenance of a recently acquired 2022 Chevrolet 12-passenger van, the Bradley Veterans Honor Guard, utilizing the vehicle in service to seven counties, in addition to being the primary organization conducting military funeral honors at the Chattanooga National Cemetery. The Bradley Veterans Honor Guard is an affiliate of American Post 81, Disabled American Veterans Chapter 25, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2596. Pictured, Thomason at center with Vet to Vet Tennessee, members, Lee Bacon, Roxe Hurley, Randall Scott, and Ron Collee.

On August 20, 2025, Vet to Vet Tennessee’s Repairs for Heroes© team delivered and installed a new free LG washer and dryer to an Army Veteran in Knoxville.

Led by Repairs for Heroes© Chairman Bob McAndrew, he was supported by Bob Goguen, Lee Bacon, Randall Scott, and Roxe Hurley.

LG donated the new washer and dryer to the Knoxville Area Korean Association on June 25, 2025. Korean War Army Veteran Arthur McGill won the appliances during a raffle. Mr. McGill then donated the appliances to Vet to Vet Tennessee to find a Veteran family that needs the appliances. Click https://tnvhc.org/army-war-veteran-arthur-mcgill-donates-to-vtvt/ to read the June 25th post.

With the help of Monroe County Veterans Service Officer Andy Boyd and McNabb Military Services Center Clinical Services Clinical Therapist Travis Miller, they identified a veteran family in Knoxville who had been without a washer for over three months. This effort involved collaboration with the help of Mr. Boyd, Mr. Miller, and Mr. McAndrew. The family had no means to pick up or install the appliances. Hence, Mr. McAndrew made the arrangements with the Vet to Vet Tennessee team and delivered and installed the new washer and dryer on a very hot Wednesday afternoon.

Rebecca, the caregiver for her disabled husband, was hand-washing the clothes on their porch. This added additional work and stress to her caregiver responsibilities.

God bless LG, the Knoxville Area Korean Association, Mr. Arthur McGill, McNabb Military Services Center, Monroe County VSO, and Vet to Vet Tennessee for their collaboration in supporting a veteran family in need. These types of projects prove that our Veteran families are not alone.

Please help us continue to improve the quality of our veterans and military families by supporting Vet to Vet Tennessee. Let’s do something! Click https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TSD82KY2JM2JJ to give!

God bless America.

Vet to Vet Tennessee was pleased to graduate a record number of JIVs (Justice Involved Veterans) today. Twelve veterans from different branches of the military successfully made it through the program and their charges will be dropped and their record expunged. We are so happy for them and appreciate the hard work that they put into completing the program.

2025 Freddie J. Owens Memorial Civilian Recipient
Roxe M. Hurley began with Vet to Vet Tennessee (VTVT) as a supporter for her life partner (Lee), an Iraq War veteran in the Army, in the Monroe County Veterans Court on November 30, 2022.

Lee graduated from the Veterans Court Program on May 24, 2023, with the support of Roxe, the Department of Veterans Affairs in Chattanooga, Veterans Court Judge Dwaine B. Thomas, VTVT Veterans Court Mentor JD Phillips, VTVT, and Lee's zealous work.

Each was grateful for the life-changing program they decided to participate in, choosing to “Do Something” for VTVT. Then, Roxe and Lee trained and were approved to become Veterans Court Mentors. But they wanted to do more, and so they did. Roxe was nominated and elected as VTVT’s Secretary on November 18, 2023, and Lee as Treasurer on August 28, 2024.

Roxe broadened her participation in all the VTVT programs and excelled as Corporate Secretary and in VTVT outreach. Roxe is grateful, faithful, humble, kind, empathetic, and dedicated.

Our Chaplain and Veterans Court Mentor, Bob Goguen (U.S. Coast Guard), recommended Roxe for the 2025 award because of her remarkable gift to care for others. Selfless!

The board of directors voted unanimously to give Roxe M. Hurley the 2025 Freddie J. Owens Memorial Award. Randall Scott, VTVT President, presented the award to Roxe; everyone had tears in their eyes.

Thank you, Roxe M. Hurley, for being you! God blessed us with Freddie J. Owens and another protégé, Roxe M. Hurley. Roxe responded: I’m just me, a daughter of the King, and I want to bring glory to His kingdom.”

New McNabb Military Services Center Therapist
On April 2, 2025, McNabb Military Services therapist Travis Miller replaced our friend and Therapist, Lou Danner. The transition was perfect! Travis had a full schedule at the Robert "Bob" Hatley Veterans Services Center, starting with his first justice-involved veteran from the Monroe County Veterans Court.

We are grateful for Lou's three-year service and for Travis's commitment to continue to perfect the record of the McNabb Military Services Center. Thank you, Jessica Carlton, MSSW, Assistant Director of Homeless and Recovery Services, for your continued support and services. Our Veterans Court Program, led by Monroe County Veterans Court Judge Thomas and Vet to Vet Tennessee, has achieved a remarkable recidivism rate of less than 5%, directly attributed to the services and care provided by McMilitary Services. God bless ya'll.

The photo was taken on Travis's first morning with Monroe County Veterans Service Officer Andy Boyd and the Vet to Vet Tennessee's team.
