Ellen Conway, Red Cross Service to Armed Forces volunteer, chats with Raymond Valencia, U.S. Air Force 1967-71. Valencia said about the event, “I enjoy meeting the other service members.”
Oscar Gonzales, U.S. Army 1998-2007; and his PTSD Service Dog Chief John Bratts share their time with Daniel Petz, U. S. Army 1990-2008. Gonzales says the dog can sense PTSD on Petz and was happy to give the veteran some affection.
Meineke Car Centers across America celebrated Veterans Day by offering veterans a free basic oil change. On Nov. 11 the Lewes Meineke changed oil for 301 veterans. Several vendors were present, with Fins Restaurant feeding the veterans during the event. This is the fifth year that Lewes Meineke has offered this service for veterans.
