Veterans Breakfast Held in Fremont

More than 100 area Veterans were honored at a breakfast hosted by Fremont Lodge No. 15 on Saturday, February 27. Worshipful Master Grady Wells and a host of brothers, with the help of area Job’s Daughters, thanked the vets for their service.  The free event included patriotic flag presentations, lots of fellowship and extended knowledge of the lodge in the community. Good publicity in the newspaper and local radio brought in many of the area’s vets. Additional honor breakfasts are planned throughout the year.

Here the brethren gather during a break in the action.

Brother Ed Nolte, Vice President of National Sojourners, Inc., presented several flag talks to the appreciative crowds of veterans at the event.

Fremont veteran Ron Vlach set up a “missing man” table to commemorate our fallen service men.
