Veterans Honored at Fish Fry

TYLER — A fish fry helped kick off a week of activities honoring veterans called Hometown Heroes Week. Hundreds turned out Sunday for the 3rd Annual Veterans Appreciation Fish Fry honoring East Texas veterans.

Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass was on hand with a proclamation declaring this week Hometown Heroes week. Also on hand with special presentations to the veterans were Congressman Louie Gohmert and State Representative Leo Berman.

The organizer of the fish fry was Karl Little. When KETK-TV asked him what people could do to help veterans these days, his answer was simple, “Show them respect, that’s the most important thing.”
