 The Memorial Memorial Day celebration continued and brainered with a free meal for veterans and their families. For the third year in a row, the American Legion prepared lunch for local veterans on Memorial Day. Anyone in uniform was welcomed to a free meal, but other community members came to the event as well, showing their support through donations to the American Legion. Veterans shared stories and enjoyed time with their families, and most of all, enjoyed all that good food. You walk through the line, get your burger, your brownie, your coleslaw, your beans, your chips. Go ahead and have a seat wherever. We have people walking around that are going to bust your tables for you. I think that we should remember them on days like today. So it's important that we're open for them to be able to come and discuss things. I know we have someone here that was in the baton death march. He's the last living one. So, you know, it's just kind of neat. A large crowd turned out for the event and organizers' plan to continue the annual meal next Memorial Day.
