Enjoying the fare are (from left) Jim Pifer, Mike Hubbell, and the event sponsor Robert Hubbell.
Jim served in the Air Force, Mike is a retired principal and superintendent in Ada, and Robert served in the infantry in Korea.
The breakfast has been held for about 20 years with about 40 vets and their spouses attending this year. After breakfast, there was a video presentation by Mike Styer and students, a talk by David Archer, then taps.
Our Lady of Lourdes bake sale, lunch and bazaar is a popular place to go each year on Veterans Day.
Here, Terry Theodore shows a money tree that she contributed for the bazaar. Yes, money does grow in trees, at least in this instance. A packet of seeds of the money plant were attached, as well.
