It was a little different than usual…the food was outdoors, the serving-ware was paper and plastic, and the veterans were seated in their vehicles. The honor and recognition for those who served though, never wavered.

The Community College of Beaver County, in conjunction with Senator Elder Vogel Jr. and other local leaders, held their annual Veterans’ Day breakfast in drive-thru form. The veterans drove up to Lot C to receive a complimentary bag of breakfast from McDonald’s, a complimentary Oram’s donut, and a goodie bag for ongoing travels.

The event attracted dozens of local veterans who stopped by and were greeted by CCBC students adorning Campus Drive waving American flags and saluting those who have served our country. To view photos from the event, check out the gallery below.
