These holiday meals were made possible by the incredible generosity of an amazing group of people out doing their grocery shopping at Shop Rite in Yardley on recent Thursday and stopped by the Club’s table outside the market. They included a woman whose husband at nineteen stormed Omaha Beach on D-Day losing a leg to enemy fire; a young Marine just back from what he called the "sand box" as he termed Iraq; an female Army officer stationed at Fort Dix; a mom whose son was presently serving in Afghanistan; to name just a few.
