More than 200 people on Saturday attended the Ninth Annual Veteran’s Day Luncheon at the Oldham- Cummings VFW Post in Wimberley.
For the last nine years, Mike Lukowiak, Veterans Day Committee chair, has been in charge of the event. “I could have turned this over years ago but I love organizing the luncheon. It is such a special occasion,” he said.
Warm smiles, handshakes and hugs greeted active duty servicemen and women, veterans and their families as they entered the hall fragrant with the smell of smoked brisket and chicken prepared by pitmaster David Garza and Ryan Harries. The pleasant sounds of conversation and laughter punctuated the air as attendees caught up with post personnel, chatted with auxiliary members and volunteers and reconnected with others in the warm atmosphere of Post #6441.
