Members of Post 712 Auxiliary, Legion, and Legion Riders held a luncheon for veterans of the Southwestern Veterans Center on Wednesday, October 13, from 12 - 3 p.m.

| American Legion Post 712 |
There were 17 veterans and a variety of attendants ranging from nurses, CNAs, activity personnel, two bus operators, an American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) hospital rep, and an ALA hospital deputy who accompanied the veterans on two handicap-accessible buses.
All of the members of Post 712 in attendance, including social members and Post staff employees, demonstrated the pride they have in welcoming their brother and sister veterans to the Post. They unselfishly spent their time setting up for the event, greeting the veterans and staff as the buses arrived, pushing wheelchairs, delivering meals to each attendee, and talking to the veterans throughout their stay.
Mary Ann Marunich, president of the Post 712 American Legion Auxiliary, arranged for this annual event and graciously accepted all the comments from the veterans as she ran the bingo game. Veterans won prizes and received a going away token as a remembrance of their visit.
The American Legion Post 712 Commander, Richard J. Wojnar, was also in attendance and couldn't have been more proud of all those in attendance for the unwavering support everyone showed for their fellow veterans. To us, the veterans give us more than we could ever give them in return.
We have open membership in the Legion, ALA, Sons of the AL, and Legion Riders. We welcome anyone who is concerned and cares about bettering the lives of our veterans.
Until next year, God bless all our troops!
