Memorial Day ceremony at East Tennessee Veterans Memorial
The Knoxville Veterans Legacy Program at University of Tennessee
This brief video documentary, The Knoxville Veterans Legacy Program at University of Tennessee, chronicles the work of the 2018 Veterans Legacy Program in Knoxville, Tennessee, funded by a contract from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Knoxville National Cemetery was established in the midst of the Civil War, and since then United States Veterans from every conflict and from every branch of service have been laid to rest there with honors. The documentary discusses the implementation of the program and the work done as a unique partnership between the University of Tennessee-Knoxville History Department, the UT Center for the Study of War and Society, the Knoxville History Project, the East Tennessee Historical Society, and Knox County K-12 schools. It also discusses the history of the Knoxville National Cemetery and a few examples of the heroes buried there. Please enjoy the brief 10-minute video.

Knoxville is a city on the Tennessee River in eastern Tennessee. Downtown, the Market Square district has 19th-century buildings with shops and restaurants. The Museum of East Tennessee History has interactive exhibits plus regional art, textiles and Civil War artifacts. James White’s Fort, built by the Revolutionary War captain, includes the reconstructed 1786 log cabin that was Knoxville’s first permanent building.
Knoxville is in Eastern Tennessee, United States. It is the third-largest city in the state. It is the home of the University of Tennessee's primary campus (UTK) and site of the 1982 World's Fair. Knoxville is on the Tennessee River about an hour from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Once called the 'scruffy little city', the downtown is undergoing a rapid renaissance as young people move into the lofts and apartments created from the factories and warehouses of another era. On any evening of the week, throngs of residents and visitors can be seen at the sidewalk cafes, theaters, restaurants and night clubs along Gay Street and Market Square. The University of Tennessee, with its 27,000 students, is within walking distance of the downtown, separated only by the World's Fair Park.
One can still see remnants of the 1982 World's Fair in the Sunsphere, a rising structure topped with a gold sphere which dots Knoxville's skyline, however, most of the other structures from the Fair were removed to create a large city park which attracts families, students, and artists on weekends and sunny days. The World's Fair brought a lot of attention and development to the city, including high-rise office structures, and the four-star Hilton, Crowne Plaza and Marriott hotels.
Knoxville is home to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, but the city seems dominated by the University of Tennessee Volunteers (men only) and Lady Volunteers athletics. The basketball teams play in the 21,000+ seat Thompson Boling Arena, and the nationally recognized football team plays in Neyland Stadium, one of the largest on-campus stadiums in the world at 103,000 seating capacity. During the fall you will find plenty of orange in the foliage, but you will see Big Orange year round with the people of Knoxville.
Dubbed a 'scruffy little city' by the Wall Street Journal before the 1982 World's Fair, Knoxville is strutting its stuff these days as an increasingly prominent and well-polished destination for outdoor, gastronomy and craft-beer enthusiasts. Knoxville is also home to the University of Tennessee and its rabid college-football fan base. On game days the whole town is painted orange as fans pack Neyland Stadium to watch the beloved Volunteers. But there's more to Knoxville than football. No longer content to play second fiddle to nearby Chattanooga and Asheville, the city – a former textiles production center – now touts itself as a base camp for visitors to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Sugarlands Visitor Center is just 29 miles away, and Knoxville is a far more enticing spot to eat and drink than other cities near the park. For hikers and mountain bikers, the city's ever-expanding Urban Wilderness is becoming its own reason to visit.

Scenes from the military memorial service held for seven unclaimed East Tennessee veterans
Seven veterans, their remains once unclaimed, were buried with full military honors Tuesday through the kindness of strangers.
The six soldiers and one sailor died without legal next-of-kin to make funeral arrangements, said Jeff Berry of Berry Funeral Home. But on Tuesday hundreds mourned and honored them in an East Tennessee Veterans Cemetery ceremony arranged by the funeral home and the national Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial Program.
