EBENSBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — Pennsylvania State representative Frank Burns, D-Cambria, is hosting a free spaghetti lunch for veterans.

The Veterans Appreciation Lunch is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Jackson Twp. Fire Hall.

“Honoring our veterans in this way is a long standing tradition for me that I refuse to give up,” Rep. Burns said. “I’ve always respected their service and sacrifice, but the older and wiser I get, the greater my appreciation grows.”

Those who present a valid military ID will receive the spaghetti lunch at no cost. Guests can participate, but are asked to donate $5.
