VFW Post 1763 hosts Thanksgiving dinner for veterans
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - On Thanksgiving, the post invited both Veterans and community members to enjoy dinner and dessert.
Michigan State Representative Brenda Carter (D) attended the event in support of Veterans. She has a personal connection to Veterans after she lost her son to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in 2019.
She said that she felt warm and welcomed in Yuma, despite people not knowing who she was; they treated her like family. She wants Veterans to know that Yuma always has a place in her heart.
"I promise you, I will be back," Rep. Carter spoke.
Events like this mean the world to Veterans and help let them know that they are loved and seen by the community they fought for.
