Keep Up with the 101st During Deployment

The division is currently deployed, but you can still follow news of the 101st and continue to support them while they are away. You can maintain visibility of our Screaming Eagles and Regional Command-East by visiting CJTF101, the Fort Campbell Courier, or by visiting the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Facebook Page.

Ft. Campbell Honors Vietnam Veterans With Homecoming

We are proud to announce that, effective January 1, 2010, Active Duty Military will pay no Kentucky Income Tax! In addition, we continue to offer a low cost of living and outstanding quality of life. With no sales tax on groceries, no sales tax on new car purchases for active duty military, and low overall sales tax and property tax rates, life in Christian County is less taxing and more relaxing.

In addition, our community has a long and proud tradition of sponsoring events and opportunities for our friends at Fort Campbell to enjoy. Every September, we host the Christian County Salutes Fort Campbell Week that typically features a Military Affairs Ball, Commander/Command Sergeant Major Luncheon, Mayor’s Golf Scramble, Ladies Luncheon and Tour of Homes, and the ever popular Chili Cook-Off. In addition, we offer a Hail and Farewell, Gander Memorial Ceremony, Sounds of Friendship and Freedom Concert, and Veterans Appreciation Parade. With each event, we hope to help our military families feel connected and at home in Hopkinsville-Oak Grove-Christian County, Kentucky.
