For the 15th year veterans enjoyed a lunch and dessert served by volunteers while telling stories and listening to live music.
Sobeys Manager Don Gass the unique thing is they thank him so much for the lunch, when the day is about about the veterans. Gass says he and veteran John Ricketts originally started the lunch as a breakfast. Since then about 7 Sobeys across the Maritimes have started the tradition.
Although co-found John passed away a few years ago, his wife Evelyn Ricketts still comes out every year. She tells CHSJ news it's amazing to see police and young cadets honoring our vets, saying the only thing missing is John.
The lunch featured a display full of aged newspaper articles, veteran photos and a big "Lest We Forget" flag.
