“The people of Jenkins County really came through, surpassing all expectations. Thanks to all who contributed to this very worthwhile cause,” he said.

A pick-up truck and trailer load was transported to Atlanta by Commander Scogins and presented to the Georgia VFW Service Officer who will ensure issue to those veterans in need.
