Local media personalities, elected officials to join lawmaker in serving breakfast to say thanks

Rep. Jehan Gordon (D-Peoria) will be hosting a free Veterans’ Appreciation Breakfast on Saturday, November 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the American Legion Post 2 Hall located at 110 E. McClure Ave. in Peoria. Several area media personalities, elected officials and community leaders will serve as waiters for veterans at the breakfast.

“Everyday we go to work, school, or spend time with our family, while members of our military face threats to life and limb in order to protect us and others from harm,” Gordon said. “I would like to show a small token of my appreciation by hosting a free pancake breakfast for our veterans and current military men and women, as well as their loved ones.”

Veterans and their family members will be able to come to the American Legion Post 2 Hall for a free pancake breakfast that will include pancakes, sausage, juice and coffee. Gordon will be joined by local Peoria dignitaries to help serve veterans and current military.

“With so much dissension between political parties and groups in our country, we must recognize the issues that unite us, the first among these are making sure our veterans and the brave men and women in our military have the resources and support they need at home, I want them to know how much we appreciate them,” Gordon added. “I look forward to being joined by community leaders from every sector in acknowledging the sacrifices made by our veterans.”
