CARBONDALE, IL (KFVS) -
A Vietnam veteran who calls Carbondale home wants to build a place to honor his fellow veterans.
For
the past four years Army Veterans Thomas Snowden and Henry Traylor have
been working to create a Veterans museum and recreation center in
Carbondale.
Both men say it's important for veterans to have a place to go.
"I'm
glad that I was in the military and for what I learned," said Henry
Traylor a U.S. Army Korean War veteran. "And the guys over there now
fighting don't have the opportunity that a lot of us had when we got out
of the military. And I'm glad that Thomas and I are supporting this
veterans museum center for Carbondale and all veterans."
The idea for the place was originally Snowden's. And he also wants the place to be a home away from home for veterans.
"So
the Veterans have a place to go during the day instead of sitting at
home all day long doing nothing," said Thomas Snowden a U.S. Army
Vietnam Veteran. "And the Veterans can come in and play cards and meet
other Veterans. And we can have entertainment on the weekends."
The
veterans museum and recreation center are still in the planning and
fundraising stage. Snowden and Traylor are hoping that other people will
get on board to help them make their dream a reality for veterans.
If
you'd like to help them build a place for veterans in Carbondale there
is an account for donations at the First Southern Bank in Carbondale. Or
you can contact Thomas Snowden at 618-305-3474.
