Meal pays tribute to the value of military service
Published 10:28 pm Tuesday, October 6, 2009
Bob Rawe in Stanwood could use some help for a very sweet program.
“Take A Vet To Lunch” offers a meal from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 24 at Stanwood United Methodist Church.
For $40, two people and two veterans can eat and chat.
The organization started with meals in 2008 served out of Rawe’s home. They moved the dinner program to Arlington, Marysville and now Stanwood.
He raises money by ticket sales, donations and from businesses who appreciate the program.

“When a serviceman or woman signs up for a branch of the military, they write the biggest check of all, made payable to the United State of America for an amount up to and including their life,” Rawe says. “They remain heroes well after they have served and managed to remain alive.”
