On July 3, 2011 The Chattanooga Market will be hosting a Support our Troops celebration in the First Tennessee Pavilion. Join us for old-fashioned burgers, hot-dogs and ice-cold beverages and help celebrate our independence by recognizing our servicemen who actively protect our nation.
We will have special organizations on-hand to help send care packages to our troops stationed overseas.
