SUNRISE BEACH, Mo. — The American Legion Zach Wheat Post No. 624 is inviting the community to honor veterans at an 11 a.m. ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

They will celebrate Veteran's Day at the post with breakfast from 8-10:30 a.m. and a bake sale fundraiser by the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary to assist veterans in need. Breakfast is free for vets, with the ceremony beginning around 11 a.m.
