WAPAKONETA, Ohio (WLIO) — The Auglaize County Veterans Service Office hosted its annual dinner honoring local veterans Thursday at the Auglaize County Fair.
The event brought together veterans of all ages, along with their families, for a meal and an opportunity to connect with one another. Organizers said the fair also provides a chance to share information about benefits, services and resources available to veterans in the area.
"One of the primary reasons that we like to do these veteran events is so that everybody can come together for camaraderie. And that is really what these organizations are about, about being able to talk to people who have been there, done that, to offer new ideas, to make sure that people know the resources if they should need some help," said Jeanne Goodes, Auglaize County commissioner and Veterans Service Office representative.
