OLD HICKORY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A local area veteran is getting a new roof this morning thanks to a program to show gratitude and honor to our veterans who served and their families.

It's happened Friday at a neighborhood in Old Hickey.

They started at 8 and replaced the entire roof.

It's the Roof Deployment Project and the veteran was selected in partnership with Purple Heart Homes.

The veteran John Sherrell served in the army and said he's very grateful for the new roof.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
