2007 Veterans Feeding Veterans

Scituate American Legion Post 144 Veterans Feeding Veterans November 10, 2007

This was our second Veterans Feeding Veterans and their guests. It was a huge success and we served 150 turkey dinners! We had a large crane come and hoist a huge American Flag lent to us by Burger King. Hoo-ah Burger King! It was a great time with lots of camaraderie amongst the veterans who attended. These men deserve something for they left their towns and families to put on a uniform in the defense of their country. Their service left them a changed person and only a person who has served can understand completely.

DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A veteran -- whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to
The " United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. --Author Unknown
