Vice President J.D.

Vance was in Kentucky just before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Vance, who served in the Marine Corps, spent some time with troops at Fort Campbell.

His aides enlisted the help of a Kentucky company for his onstage remarks.

Laura Rogers brings us more.

It was a week ago today that a Logan County printing company received an interesting phone call.

Said that the vice president, is going to be in Clarksville, and they've asked us to print some signs for them.

The first reaction was as vice president of warrior, vice president of United States, and I said, seriously, the United States.

Turns out it was the vice president needing signage for remarks at Fort Campbell the very next day.

First, he said, there's no way that, you know, we're going to pull this off.

And then he come to find out it's the vice president of the United States.

I think we're going to make this happen.

The vice president's staff provided the artwork to Gerald Printings Russellville office.

Who created those signs for us Thanksgiving greetings at Fort Campbell last Wednesday.

It feels good to be that person that they call to to have that done.

The company serves clients across the country but says this was one of their most exciting projects.

So excited that when Travis was back there producing the sign, he was a nervous wreck.

The company has produced work in Fort Campbell before, including the brick ramp on the railroad bridge near the army base.

Huge, huge project that we did many years ago.

Eight people work in Gerald Printing Russellville office.

I think everybody in the building got a little involved in this one to make sure they had their hands in something for the vice president.

In his speech to Fort Campbell soldiers, Vice President Vance says the administration wants to prepare the U.S.

military for the age of modern warfare in this.

New generation of warfare.

We need to give you the technology and the training to be the very best.

He also referenced Secretary of War Pete Headset's new fitness standards.

We owe it to your moms and dads, your grandmas and grandpas, to only send the very best people off to foreign conflicts.

And that is why we care so much about standards.

Vance called Thanksgiving his favorite American holiday for its spirit of gratitude for Kentucky Edition.

I'm Laura Rogers.

Along with his remarks, Vice President Vance and his wife also served as soldiers.

An early Thanksgiving meal.
