VFW Post 2667

  It was a great day as we remembered those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.  Richard Stender once again emcee'd the program as we  remembered Coweta County's WWI Honor Roll. It's 100 years since they went off to fight in the War to end all wars . Afterwards we opened the Coweta Veterans Club to the public where they got to share lunch with local veterans. Here's a few of the people who showed up.  We offer a big thanks to everyone who donated, worked, and supported the program.
