Armed Forces Day BBQ in Moorpark

To celebrate Armed Forces Day, Members of Moorpark Post 502 will be hosting a barbecue this Saturday at for veterans, active duty, reserve military and their families as a token of appreciation for those who serve and have served.

The men and women of The American Legion Family in Moorpark will be cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs. Soda, chips and desserts will also be served.

Legionnaires and auxiliary members either have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces or have family members that have. Because of their close association and understanding of the perils of service in the military, they feel compelled compelled to help make that burden, if only slightly, a little less burdensome and offer any support.

Post 502 Commander Jim Beaver said, "We are grateful for the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces, their families and those who have hung up that uniform."

So just show up on Saturday to partake of the food, swap stories or just join in the camarederie. Bring chairs, blankets and other picnic paraphernalia.
