Veteran Appreciation Dinner

Vet Info sat down to have dinner with a Veterans group of 31 members out of Tampa, Florida in honor and appreciation for their sacrifice to our country.

At the event, we were able to fellowship and break bread. We heard stories of some of their experiences while we played games like chess, checkers, and cards.

We are grateful for the time we spent together and in hope of having many more activities together.
