The Lafayette Nits, Pup Tent 24. Spent their July 4th Weekend ( 5th and 6th) providing free coffee and conversation as well as information and Poppys to travelers at the I-95 South rest area in Fayetteville.
The distribution of Poppys helped raise money for the Pup Tent’s veterans hospital work in the Fayetteville area. After all, our motto is “Keep ‘em smiling in beds of white”.
Traveling youth were told about the VFW’s Voice of Democracy and Patriots Pen Programs.
Seam Squirrel Jim Cacoulidis, Blanket Bum John Shelander, Hide Gimlet Harvey Stewart, CCDB/HC Dick Easingwood, and Tight Wad Joe Dibble were assisted by Ladies Auxiliary President Penny Cacoulidis and Chaplain Lillian Easingwood in this worthwhile project.
Veterans, young and old, stopped by to say hello and to swap stories. VFW District 8 Commander Mark Bergman and his wife, Dist Auxiliary Guard, Carola stopped by to offer support.
