Former Prisoners of War 2018 Picnic

**Dieseld** · 07-13-2018, 12:03 AM

For the past 4 years, a friend and I have been cooking for the Forrmer POW's support group of Ann Arbor MI.
Today was their annual picnic. I was alone on this one, my own fault messing up the date and Tom wasn't able to make it today. Missed ya Brother.

Here are some pics of the day

Rolling Thunder waiting for our Veterans

One of some of the group

Sorry, no before pics. But I served, Chopped brisket for sandwiches, Baby back ribs, Chopped chicken, Apple Pie baked beans or at least my version and Cole slaw.
Here's the aftermath :laugh:

It's always an Honor to do these cooks for our Veterans. And these guys are some very special ones in my opinion

You always amaze me Dave! Thanks for YOUR service!

Thanks a lot guys

To me the best way to thank these Hero's is to put a smile on their faces. Good food seems to do that
These are the ones who truly suffered for our Freedoms. And they are really some great old fellas to know.

Thanks, Dan, what a kind thing to do for former POW's.

As a member of Rolling Thunder I salute you Dave, it's a great thing your doing. Tc

That looks like a great work. Definitely people who should be honored for their sacrifice and the trials they endured. Unfortunately many POWs didn't get to see freedom again. Hope a good time was had by all!!

Sharing food and fellowship is always a great idea. In the past sharing a meal with someone was a sign of respect. (Not to derail thread but Biblical stories give good examples of this) There is a restaurant near me that actually has large round tables to encourage people to speak with each other and get to know their neighbors better!
