Eighteen proud Military Veterans came together September 20-22 to compete in the first JTCC Veterans Tennis Championships for a memorable weekend dedicated to honoring those who have served our country.
Players were treated to Paisano’s on Friday night as a social event before the tournament kicked off during the weekend with singles and doubles action both days.
Longtime JTCC member 92-year-old Dick Charlton excelled in the 70+ Singles and Doubles divisions reaching the finals in both events, while Sam Williams, a regular in the free weekly Veterans program at JTCC won the 70+ Singles Division with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Charlton.
JTCC wants to thank the Department of Veterans Affairs for sponsoring the JTCC Veterans Tennis Corps program, which makes events like this tournament possible.
