Check out this week's specials at the Stars & Stripe Cafe! Please note: for the summer, our menu will no longer be running in the Lititz Record Express, so come back here for the latest menu.

Thank You Korean War Veterans

Lititz Springs VFW Post 1463 and the Ladies Auxiliary are hosting a Dessert Social and Screening of the film "Chosin", a documentary about the battle of the Chosin Reservoir (the forgotten victory). It is the winner of the G.I. Film Institute's Best Documentary for 2010. It was written, produced and directed by two Iraqi War veterans, Brian Iglesias and Anton Sattler, both of whom are hoping to be present at this screening on September 26, 2010, at 2 p.m. at the post hall. All Korean veterans and one guest are welcome. If you have questions, contact Commander Joel Ellis at 717-569-6062 or Patriotic Instructor Anne Loechner at 717-625-0907. It is okay to leave a message, we will get back to you if you leave your phone number.
