The Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Buffalo, New York gave dozens of military veterans an early Thanksgiving Day feast. According to news reports, the food used in the feast was purchasing using money donated by other community organizations and veterans agencies. Volunteers offered their support by preparing, cooking and serving the feast. Officials with the Buffalo VA said they plan to serve nearly 200 meals to the homeless and military veterans this Thanksgiving Day week.

Vets Make Thanksgiving Gift Baskets for Other Vets

It’s also nice to hear stories of military veterans helping out other veterans, such as the case involving vets in Corpus Christi, Texas. For the second consecutive year in a row, the Coastal Bend Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association made special gift baskets for their follow veterans as part of a Thanksgiving Day celebration. The gift baskets were placed on a tablet at the Nueces County Courthouse, and were filled with festive home-cooked foods like turkey, stuffing, dressing, pumpkin pie, and dinner rolls. This won’t be the last time that the Coastal Bend Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association hosts this special Turkey Day event, either. Organizers say they plan to host it every year with the help of the local community. Click here to read more.
