Friday, November 6, 2015

Veterans Day activities will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 10:30 a.m., on the east side of the Courthouse Square in downtown Dyersburg. The speaker will be Deitra Clifton, director and founder of a new nonprofit organization named: The Paul Andert Humanitarian Services organization. Clifton is the niece of Paul Andert, who served with Gen. Patton during World War II, and as such she has heard a lot of "war stories." Andert has written several books about his wartime experience including "Unless You Have Been There." Last year he was asked to come to Hollywood where he served as a consultant for the film "Fury" starring Brad Pitt. The movie tells the story of a tank crew fighting the Nazis in World War II.
