American Legion Honors Veterans
NORTH WEBSTER — North Webster American Legion Post 253 spent Nov. 11 honoring all veterans. The Legion Color Guard led by Elyse Hardin and Post 253 Commander Jeff Spickelmier conducted ceremonies at several local cemeteries to remember the fallen military service men and women. The Post provided approximately 300 free lunches of ham and beans with corn bread and sandwiches to service men and women and their families.
The North Webster American Legion Post 253 Ladies Auxiliary greeted all the service men and women as they arrived at the Post with “Operation Hug a Veteran” and provided sweet and salty snacks for everyone who came through the door.
Special thanks to Angelo’s Chicago Style Pizza and Beef for paying Post 253 a surprise visit with several delicious pizzas that were enjoyed by those visiting the Post. Musical entertainment was provided by Post 253’s very own veteran Russ Chandler throughout most of the day.
