Veterans in Three Points couldn't celebrate Veterans Day in their VFW Post 10254 due to a September fire that charred the building's interior but that didn't stop them from coming together to honor those who served and sacrificed so much.
The VFW Post 10254 Auxiliary made it happen with a flag ceremony and celebration luncheon.
Gerri Khalaf, the auxiliary president, says they raise money for this event every year by hosting a free veterans breakfast once a month and all the money that's donated goes to the Veterans Day event.
"Unfortunately with the fire we were afraid we weren't gonna do it, so we got together and volunteered as much as we could with the potatoes and everything to do a potato bar to give back to all the veterans in our community," Gerri Khalaf said.
