Our motto is:  Recognize, Remember and Honor Our Veterans.

Everyone is invited to attend:  Veterans Eat FREE; Others are $5 for a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee, orange juice and milk.

There will be an Opportunity Drawing with many exciting new items; first ticket for general drawing free to each attendee.

We have been able to honor our Veterans and use proceeds from this event to sponsor candidates for Boys State, make donations to the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at Ramona High School and the Ramona Senior Center’s Nutrition Program and as our breakfast grows we plan to expand our outreach to Veterans who need assistance at the Christmas Season.
