Local veterans shared more than breakfast during their annual meeting Saturday at the Community House.
The informal gathering by Post 4941, Blacksburg’s Veterans of Foreign Wars, was a time of reflection, thanks, fellowship and sharing.
After the meal, Post Commander Clarence Hammett invited the audience to share anecdotes from their military days that prompted laughter and displayed the group’s sense of camaraderie.
Hammett broke the ice by telling about overcoming a language barrier, and Cherokee County VA Officer Todd Humphries, also a member of the post, related a story he admitted was only funny now.
For the rest of the story, see this week’s Blacksburg Times.
