Saturday is Armed Forces Day — a day we honor and recognize the brave men and women who serve — and have served — our country.
Mission Barbecue restaurants in our region, and across the country, hosted “Lunch with the Heroes” on Saturday.
They offered free sandwiches to veterans and active-duty military members as a thank-you for their service.
The event was the culmination of a week-long commemoration of each branch of the military for Armed Forces Week.
