Veterans' Appreciation Day in Eagle Pass

 Today I attended the Veterans' Appreciation Day that was held in the VFW Post 8562 Hall. It was sponsored by the Family Endeavor's Supportive Services for Veteran Families. They served chicken, beans and rice, a Mexican-American favorite.

This hall is rented out mostly. The Post has a smaller one next door that is used for meetings and smaller gatherings.

Paying the electrical bill for air conditioning is a major challenge.

This mural representing all the Armed Forces was painted by high school art students. It is well done.

I am doing certificates of appreciation for the Post to present to kin of a deceased veteran at the Memorial Day Program and a bunch of others that will be presented on Memorial Day, May 30. I am glad to be able to help them out.
