Eastpointe Veterans Day dinner and celebration

It is Veterans Day and there are many events throughout Metro Detroit today honoring those who served. One of them is at East Point. That's where we find Fox 2's Scott Wolncheck. He's live with how they're being honored tonight. Scott. Hey, Rup. Yeah, you know what? We've got a very, very nice Veterans Day dinner going on here at the VFW Post in East Point. I got the commander right here, Dion Haggerty, and you are a veteran yourself. Where'd you serve, sir? I served in Kuwait for a year, and I did some time in Germany. And your wife is also a veteran. Yes, she is. She served in the Army, and she served in the Air Force. Very cool. So I would imagine today is something special for you both. Definitely, definitely. So tell me about it. What's going on here? Because it looks like you've got some pretty good grub. Yes, yes. We have a lot of different things. We have our... Post-auxiliary helping us serve all these veterans that decided to come out today. This is our first annual Veterans Day dinner under my leadership. Wow. Okay, very cool. And you know what? It looks like everybody's enjoying some good time. What do you got here? You got some chicken. I was looking at those donuts, man. That looks good. That looks real good. Yes, they do. And you guys deserve it for all the stuff you went through. Yes, sir. Yes, we do. What does Veterans Day mean to you and your family and just veterans in general? It's not really a day for us because we all serve because we love our country. So in regards to Veterans Day, it's just something to commemorate, you know, all the people who made the sacrifice for our country. Do you think Veterans Day has changed over the years? I think so. A lot of people don't honor it as much as they used to back in the day. We're trying to get ourselves back out there so that we can be A good role model for our country and our citizens and our East Point. You know, it's interesting that you say that because I was at another event in Sterling Heights earlier and the veteran I interviewed said something along the same lines. So that's pretty interesting here. But you know what, at least for now you got this nice show of support going on. But yeah, I agree. I think, you know what, I think people are going to see stuff like this and come out and support you guys. A little bit more for, some people gave the ultimate sacrifice. Now, is this your wife? This is my wife, and she's also a veteran. Yes. There we go. Thank you. Very, very nice. Thank you. Rup, I'm going to send it back over to you, because I think these two are probably going to start digging in at some point, right? Yes, yes. Looking forward to jumping in. You've got to call dibs on some of those donuts. I know. I was standing over them. I know, right?
