FOR Cooks Spaghetti for Soldiers
Posted on Jun 13th, 2016
![]() Friends of the River San Bernard assisted Sargent, Texas during their “Tournament of Heroes” weekend for wounded American veterans by cooking a spaghetti dinner for 300 on Friday, June 10 at the Sargent VFW hall.
Sargent residents opened their homes for the weekend to host wounded American Veterans. Local businesses and volunteers provided main meals and local residents and area fishing guides donated an all-expense paid day of fishing so Wounded Warriors may participate in the event.
Seventeen friends of the river, who volunteered to fix the spaghetti dinner, were Wayne & Vicki Head (headed up the group), Gera Martin, Lohn & Karen Zylicz, Mike & Suzanne Goodson, Fred & Nancy Kanter, Bob & Susan Bailey, Cathy MacDonald, Tom & Ange Ronayne, Janell Keith, and Ken & Linda Wright.
