We had another successful delivery of an evening meal for 20 residents of the Travis, Air Force Base Fisher House on Monday, the second Monday of the month. This is something our Legionnaires starting doing three months ago at Post 165 in Vacaville. Thus far, we have delivered meals to 57 residents on the first Monday of every month at the Fisher House on Travis, AFB. Thank you to American Legion Member Michelle Hammer-Coffer, pictured below having recently broken her arm, we decided help her out. Michelle paid for the food and the meal was prepared by American Legion Member “EE” who is a retired Army chef and former chef at VA Medical Center in San Francisco. Jeff Jewell, post adjutant, washed all the dishes at the Veterans Memorial Hall kitchen where the meal was prepared. Jeff, also delivered the meal to the Fisher House. The meal was grilled/baked pork chops in a special sauce with butter, garlic and brown sugar, fresh greens beans with onions and bacon, au gratin potatoes and homemade pineapple up-side-down cake. If you are interested in providing a meal on the second Monday of the month in 2022 let me know by email.
