This past Saturday was a busy day for our veterans.

The second Saturday of each month, they take time to serve meals at Feed the Hungry in Dunbar. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back. G.I. Tucker is always happy to supervise!

We are fortunate and grateful that Mr. Chip Bayless donated tickets for the Marshall game Saturday night.

Finally, Saturday ended with a trip to Fear On The Farm WV. Our veterans are always excited for the spooky season!
