Tina M Schaffer A group of my American Legion brothers met me for breakfast, and we spent the morning catching up while our meals were being prepared. Our waitress was humorous, polite, and efficient from the moment she greeted us all the way through the end of our visit.
In the middle of our conversation, a patron approached our table asking how to properly dispose of a worn American flag. We were honored to be asked and shared several appropriate methods, along with our contact information. Each of us was thanked for our service before they departed. Moments like this remind us exactly why we continue to show up for one another and for our community.
The atmosphere was comfortable and homey, and the food was excellent. Before we wrapped up, our waitress returned and quietly let us know that our entire table’s bill had been covered. A simple breakfast became a powerful reminder of friendship, family, fellowship, and the kind of support that brings communities together.
