ur esteemed local community war veterans have made many sacrifices through selfless service to others. After years beyond their military service duties, they still enjoy and look forward to the opportunity to get together, meet new friends, swap stories, and remain connected. “Since the mid 1990s the Fox Valley Veterans Breakfast Club has been a special outlet for veterans to support each other while enjoying a tasty and piping hot buffet breakfast,” said Rick Gardner, a U.S. Army Vietnam veteran from 1966-68, who is co-president of the club along with Jim Davidson.
The group meets twice a month on the first and third Thursdays of the month at the Oswego American Legion Post #675 at 19 West Washington Street. It’s a time when they can nourish both their bodies and spirits. There is no fee to be in the club and it is funded by donations. The only cost involved is $10 and a tip for the breakfast, which has all the fixin’s including coffee, juice, scrambled eggs and hash browns, biscuits and gravy, pancakes and sausage. Those feeling lucky can participate in a 50/50. For early risers, the doors open at 6:30 a.m. followed by a short meeting at 7 a.m. with breakfast served at 7:30 a.m. u Continued on page 3
