Veteran's Day Celebration

Come one come all to your local American Legion's Veteran's Day Celebration! DC Bocce's very own American Legion Post 8 is hosting their Veteran's Day festival today at Folger Park starting at 11am! Following the outdoor portion everyone will move into the auditorium space at the Legion (where we usually play bocce) for lunch for all in attendance. Every is encourage to attend, especially those with a "vacation" day today. And it's the biggest Legion event of the year. The timing of the event is significant because fighting during WWI ceased when an armistice between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. We hope you all can make it and show support for our nation's troops and veteran's.

And remember, in honor of Veteran’s Day this week and to recognize our service men and women, DC Bocce is donating $3 for every new “Like” we receive on our Facebook page. Proceeds go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a local organization providing assistance to injured service members and their families. Tell your friends on Facebook and help us support our nation’s veterans.
