"It is an honor to break bread...."

Aleethia’s “Friday Night Dinner” held on December 13th was hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Capitol Hill Club. VFW Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief Hal Roesch, D.C. Executive Director B.J. Lawrence and several other VFW Officers and Staff Members greeted and met with each wounded/injured/ill service member during the dinner. “It is an honor to break bread, share stories, and be part of the healing process for these resilient service men and women,” said VFW Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief Hal Roesch. “It was paramount that I attend tonight’s dinner and show my appreciation and admiration that the VFW has for these amazing warriors.”

“This is an event that I truly look forward to and cannot miss,” said VFW Washington Office Executive Director B.J. Lawrence. “The bonds built – the conversations shared – nothing beats the feeling you receive when you dine with these patriots and their families.”

Over 102 service members, family members and guests enjoyed a sumptuous steak dinner and several new patients enjoyed getting out of the hospital, meeting some fellow service members and starting new friendships.

Tables filled with giveaways …. toys and so much more for the children and “big” kids too!

Thank you VFW for another wonderful evening! Special thanks to the staff at Capitol Hill Club for their kindness, assistance with our many requests and decorating the room and tables with festive holiday decorations.
