Senator Chris Gebhard and Representative Jamie Barton are set to host a veterans appreciation lunch on November 9 at Cabela’s in Hamburg. The event is open to veterans from the 48th Senatorial District, with check-in starting at 11:30 a.m. and the program beginning at noon.

"The men and women who have defended the American ideals we hold dear have influenced the history of the country, ensuring that we can continue to enjoy our many freedoms. I look forward to personally thanking the veterans who are able to attend the lunch we are hosting," said Gebhard.

The keynote speaker for the event will be Col. Frank Ryan, UMCR-retired, a former state representative and Iraq War veteran.

“There’s a certain enthusiasm in meeting with and talking to the people who embodied the principles upon which our great country was founded,” Barton remarked. “Sharing a meal and enjoying that fellowship is a healthy way to stay connected to these heroes.”

Veterans attending are allowed to bring one guest. Due to limited space, an RSVP is required by contacting Gebhard’s district office via phone or online registration.
