Bellefonte Elks Lodge 1094 recently honored veteran Elks members, who served on active duty any time during the period Nov. 1, 1953 to May 15, 1975, regardless of the location of that service. All 15 members who attended the luncheon received a special Vietnam lapel pin. The Elks motto “So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them” was quite evident during this outpouring of support from the Elks. Pictured from left, back row, are Les McClellan (Navy), Tom Wilson (Navy), Ken Weaver (Army), James Kustanbauter (Army), and Larry Cramer (Air Force); front row, Chaplain Cathy Hoffman, Army and Elks Veterans Service Committee Chaiman Rickk Hoffman, and Exalted Ruler Lorna Spearly .
