VFW Post 3663 in Buckhannon hosts its annual Veterans Day Appreciation Luncheon on Wednesday, November 11, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the post, 12 S. Kanawha St. The lunch is free for all veterans and their immediate family members.
The post holds the lunch on the holiday itself, at 11 a.m. on 11/11, even though this year’s Veterans Day parade is Saturday, November 7. “There is a historical purpose behind that,” VFW Auxiliary President Carey Wagner told The Record Delta: the armistice that ended World War I fighting took effect at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918.
