FNB Bank (FNB) is proud to announce that they have donated $5,000 to the Trigg County Veterans Memorial Committee, to assist with the construction of the Trigg County Veterans Memorial Park. The memorial will be placed near Vinson Cemetery in Trigg County to remember the nine soldiers who died on March 29th, 2023, when two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters collided during a routine training exercise over a field off Maple Grove Road.
The original memorial will be dedicated to the fatal crash, with future plans for additional memorials to commemorate other veterans who died while serving our country. Plans for the initial memorial were unveiled at a ceremony following the Trigg County Veterans Parade on November 11, 2024.
“FNB proudly supports our military and is pleased to make this donation. March 29, 2023, was a tragic night in Trigg County and I applaud the committee’s efforts to create this memorial so we may never forget those nine soldiers. I am also happy to hear about the committee’s future plans that will memorialize other veterans from Trigg County that paid the ultimate sacrifice.”
