Wreaths Across America fundraiser at the Basehor VFW Post

With a spaghetti dinner on Friday, April 13, the Basehor VFW Post raised money for Basehor Intermediate School fifth-graders' effort to place wreaths on veterans' graves at Leavenworth National Cemetery each December. A few of the fifth-graders volunteered at the event, providing service to diners, and Basehor Mayor David Breuer stopped by to proclaim March 30 as Welcome Home, Vietnam Veterans Day in Basehor.
