Calling All Veterans

LW veterans are invited to a complimentary barbecued chicken lunch in their honor on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, from 2-6 p.m. at the Los Alamitos American Legion, Post 716, 3252 Florista St. (just north of Katella between Los Alamitos Boulevard and the 605 freeway) in Los Alamitos.

Veterans, whether they are an American Legion member or not, will dine for free.

An optional, nominal donation to support veterans programs is requested from guests of the veterans.

The meal will consist of barbecued chicken and side dishes. Soft drinks, liquor, beer and wine will be available for purchase.

People should RSVP by Oct. 28 by calling (714) 306-1485. Veterans should leave their first and last names, branch of the service in which they served, and if they plan to bring a guest.

“We are hoping to thank as many veterans as possible for their service to our country,” said LWer and fellow veteran Mike Depew.
