For a third year, the Ernie Pyle VFW Post 1120 in
Indianapolis served a big Thanksgiving meal for veterans at HVAF.
“We are honored to continue this tradition during the
holidays,” says Cloyce Cornett, Post Commander.
"It makes me feel glad
to see the VFW has embraced us and appreciates our service," says Kenny
P., an HVAF veteran. He has been out of work and struggling with homelessness
for 4 years.
Today he is working on attaining his educational goals while being
housed at HVAF.
"I think this is
awesome, that they hosted this luncheon for us," says Curtis Williamson, a
social worker with the HVAF REST program.
"It's inspiring to feel
like we have the support of the community,” Curtis says. “Whether they are
forgotten or not, our HVAF vets often do feel forgotten, and it’s small
gestures like these that I hope make some kind of impact if not just for the
day, maybe for a year, or a lifetime.”
“This is our way of saying thanks to all
the veterans who served our country,” adds Cloyce.
