The American Legion provides the best cuisine with their food truck, thanks to Cliff Burelle, also a VCCC member, and his wife Debbie.  This is the largest veterans service organization in America, chartered by Congress in 1919. It is no secret that far too many military veterans and their families struggle to get by. This is especially true after coming home from deployment, after having been discharged from duty, or if they have been severely injured. The American Legion works to help alleviate problems surrounding housing and living and offers personal counseling.
