On Nov. 19, members of the Owego American Legion Riders Chapter 401 went on a mission, this one for a great cause! On Sunday the group went shopping for Thanksgiving meals, some on motorcycles on that brisk and windy day.<\/p>\n

With about a dozen riders, the Chapter raises dollars throughout the year that are in turn utilized to support veterans, their families, and basically anyone in need.<\/p>\n

According to Vassil they bought all of the fixings that day for a Thanksgiving dinner to include turkey breasts, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie filler, and even a $20 gift card. For Christmas they will be purchasing food and gifts for another family in need.<\/p>\n

This is in addition to other activities that the riders raise money for that support veterans, their families, homeless veterans, and civilian families in need.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year is no different,\u201d member John Vassil stated, and added, \u201cThis is a tradition that we intend and hope to keep going for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vassil added that one thing he noticed, and that brought a tear to his eye, is how grateful the families are that are receiving the donations.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart was all with them on that day,\u201d Vassil added.<\/p>\n

The club would like to thank Price Chopper in Owego for sponsoring a portion of the purchased items that were delivered to some grateful families.<\/p>\n
