Veterans were especially remembered at their VFW Post No. 5254 La Grange monthly meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

There was a cake that had the wording “Thank you for your service Veterans,” the VFW Hall was decorated in Fall colors and a Thanksgiving theme, and a special meal was served.

Also, the VFW Auxiliary No. 5254 surprised President Marilyn Kothmann with flowers as a “thank you” for all she does in her leadership role; and they also sang “Happy Birthday” for her Nov. 24 birthday.
