Broad Channel VFW Post 260 Thanksgiving Dinner for Disabled Veterans


As Always...Service with a Smile!


This Sunday afternoon, November 5th, 2017, the men and women of the Broad Channel VFW Post #260 Auxiliary will once again host their annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the disabled veterans who reside at St. Albans Hospital.  

After tearful farewells to their families, these individuals went off to war where they saw and did things young men and women should not have to see or do. While many of them came home unscathed, many made the ultimate sacrifice and did not return while others returned damaged in body or spirit or both.  

What many of you may not realize is that, as the years' pass, the pain of combat-related disability pales in comparison to the heartache of feeling forgotten by those who remained on the home front.

Why not take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and stop by the VFW hall Sunday afternoon and introduce yourself to some of these vets and speak to them for a few minutes while thanking them for their service and sacrifice. I guarantee you the Vets will sincerely appreciate it and you will come away feeling better for the experience!

Afterwards, stop by the canteen at the rear of the Post and say hello to and thank your friends and neighbors who work so hard and unselfishly throughout the year at the Post to ensure our veterans are not forgotten! 

The VFW Prince-Wynn Post #260 Auxiliary would also like to extend the Thanksgiving dinner invitation to all of our neighbors in Broad Channel who are Veterans as a special thank you for their service. Please join us and our guest's from St. Albans VA Hospital this Sunday afternoon.
