By Tom Johnson 9-16-09

Great news for this small town in Central Florida. They were voted to be the National City of the year for 2009 by the veterans of the 40 and 8. This town is my town, Inverness Florida. I am sure that there are many of you that do not know what the 40 and 8 organization is, here is a little history on this great organization of veterans;
The Forty and Eight was founded in 1920 by American veterans returning from France. Originally an arm of The American Legion, the Forty and Eight became an independent and separately incorporated veteran’s organization in 1960. Membership is by invitation of honorably discharged veterans and honorably serving members of the United States Armed Forces.
