Veteran’s Day Breakfast.
Here in Ohio it is a beautiful day!
My day started at 7:00 am picking up several dozen donuts for a veteran’s day breakfast. My Legion Post serves free breakfast to all veterans and their families every year for Veteran’s Day. It is a simple breakfast, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and sausage and gravy, oh yeah and donuts. I know not the healthiest food, but if we were to offer cottage cheese and oatmeal I have a feeling no one will show up. I’m the post commander and as commander it was my duty to greet each person that came in and to wish them well when they left. One thing was consistent with each person I met whether they are 80 yrs old and served during WWII or young men and women returning from the current conflicts, they were sincerely thankful for this small gesture.
This coming Wednesday is Veteran’s Day, I won’t ask you to hug a vet, or wear patriotic colors or defend the current conflicts, but I will ask you to show appreciation to someone that is part of your life; you will be amazed how good YOU will feel.
