On Thanksgiving Day Post 2801 hosted 50 Navy Basic Training Recruits from Great Lakes Naval Base. First Responders with their equipment shining awaited the bus as it pulled in, and along with our members, auxiliary, and local residents provided a very warm welcome on a brisk Thanksgiving morning.
The recruits were treated to breakfast treats and at mid-day a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner………then time for some football on tv with use of laptop computers and cell phones to connect with home. Overall, a great day for these wonderful new members of our military family.
