ABOUT THIS EPISODE
History is coming to Murfreesboro. Charlie Eblen and Dari Wells break down Rutherford County's first-ever Veterans Day Parade — Saturday, November 14th, 10:00 AM, rolling from MTSU straight down Main Street to the historic square.
Charlie shares why this one is personal: his grandfather served 28 years in the military and helped draft the Peace Accord for Vietnam. With 400,000 people and over 20,000 veterans in Rutherford County, it's time somebody stepped up. Denied four times — but Charlie doesn't like being told no.
Plus: school-zone traffic duty confessions, pecan coffee at Goodness Gracious, the "Tubberware" debate, the $6.99 lunch special story that says everything about hospitality, and a Friday Feel Good for the ones who served.
