On Monday June 24th, 2013,
Marine Sergeant Christopher Hancock,
a Crossville native, will be returning home!
His plane is scheduled to land at the Crossville Memorial Airport at 4:00 pm. While on a combat mission in Afghanistan on June 26th, 2011, Sgt. Hancock was injured when an IED (improvised explosive devise) detonated. As a result of his injuries, Sgt. Hancock lost both of his legs.
This will be Sgt. Hancock’s first visit home since his injury and his family is trying to arrange a Welcome Home Celebration for him at the airport. Members of the Community Band will be on hand to play for him. There will also be local dignitaries there to welcome Sgt. Hancock. An effort is being made to get as many people there as possible to show support for Sgt. Hancock.
Please pass the word to everyone you can think of!
Let's show Marine Sergeant Christopher Hancock how much the citizens of Crossville and Cumberland County support him and appreciate the sacrifice he made for his country!
