By Jeannette Stallard
In honor of the many men and women who have courageously served our country, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VWF) Post 6885 is inviting the public to celebrate the 4th of July with the Troops.
“We are expecting 400 attendees to this event, with current active duty military personnel being our ‘guests of honor.'” said Junior Vice President John Sloan. “It is a family event, starting at 2:00 p.m. when the barbecue will be fired up.”
Along with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, the women of VWF Post 6885 are providing homemade side dishes and desserts. As the guests of honor, current military personnel in uniform will receive free food throughout the day.
In addition to food, this event features live music performed by Lynn Rutherford and A Wing and A Prayer from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. as well as Debra Lee and Trigger Happy from 8 p.m. to midnight.
