The U.S. Army is partnering with Bob’s Billiards and BBQ, next door to the Armed Forces Recruiting Station at 1310 Highway 62 West, Mountain Home, to provide free meals on Veterans Day, November 11, 2022.

When I walk into our canteen and look around there is a sea of veterans from in their 30’s to in their 80’s. I know them all at least by their first names and a lot of them by their last names. When I pull into the parking lot of Harps and Wal-Mart, I see veteran license plates on numerous vehicles.

Veterans Day is November 11. The Mountaineer Echo, Cotter Schools teachers and administration, along with students and parents would like to express their sincerest gratitude to all Veterans for the sacrifices made in defense of the United States of America.
