When tornadoes struck western Kentucky in December and January, help arrived from across the country in the form of volunteers and donations.
Veterans of Foreign Wars posts from across the country also got together and sent relief supplies and money to those areas greatly affected by the storm damage. Karle Johnson of the VFW Post 7890 said Kentucky still has money in its relief fund for veterans who may have suffered a loss.
