Military Affairs
As early as 1970, a Military Affairs Committee can be documented in the Chamber’s history. The Vice-Chair, along with the committee members, has always worked with the Command Group at Fort Campbell to meet and provide for the families who locate within our community. Primary objectives this year will center on welcome home events, and participate in the annual Citizens for Fort Campbell advocacy trip to Washington, D.C. in the spring, where approximately sixty citizens from Clarksville, Hopkinsville, and Oak Grove advocate for projects for Fort Campbell.
This committee hosts Warrior Week, a week-long event that includes activities such as:
- An Annual Marksmanship Competition
- Movie Night
- Godfather Golf Tournament - a signature event
- The Finale Picnic and Fun Fair
Warrior Week activities are all made possible by the generous support of member businesses and the community. Additionally, this committee has an initiative to recognize the long history of military in our area through the Veteran’s Day Breakfast and support of other programs in the area.
