On September 12, 2020, the Manchester, Tennessee Veterans of Foreign Wars All-American Post 10904 presented awards to area supporters for their outstanding support to our military and local veterans.

Mary Campbell Weddington accepted the VFW Military Support Appreciation Award for Citizens Tri-County Bank. Citizens Tri-County Bank has paid the shipping costs of care packages, shipped from our local area to our military personnel serving on active duty, since Operation Desert Storm in 1991. She told members present that Citizens Tri-County Bank is proud to pay for care package postage, no matter the cost, as their way of supporting our deployed military forces.
