Campbell County Honor Guard founder Hugh Hatmaker is marking 30 years in his volunteer role. Author: John Becker Updated: 6:24 PM EDT June 10, 2021
CAMPBELL COUNTY, Tenn. One founding member of the Campbell County Honor Guard has been putting on his uniform for almost 70 years.
“I just enjoy paying honor to deceased veterans. And I know someday I’ll be one,” said 84-year old Hugh Hatmaker. He is marking 30 years with that volunteer group based in La Follette, Tennessee.
In 1991, the veteran of the Army and Air Force helped create an honor guard unit that averaged almost 100 funerals a year. The fellow veterans offer a final salute to men and women who severed the country honorably, at no cost to families. They operate solely on donations to help pay for vans, fuel and uniforms.
