The Tucson AZ Elks Lodge 385 hosted the September 5, 2022 Labor Day luncheon for veterans from the Tucson VA Medical Center. All attendees were appreciative of the big buffet meal that was served. We had many members volunteer from Elks Lodge #385 that cooked the meals and served the veterans. What a great day to honor those who served in the United States of America military that are and have served to protect our freedom and liberties that we benefit as free Americans.
