Photos: Basehor veterans give back to fifth-graders
With a spaghetti dinner on Friday, April 13, the Basehor VFW Post raised money for Basehor Intermediate School fifth-graders’ effort to place wreaths on veterans’ graves at Leavenworth National Cemetery each December.
A few of the fifth-graders volunteered at the event, providing service to diners, and Basehor Mayor David Breuer stopped by to proclaim March 30 as Welcome Home, Vietnam Veterans Day in Basehor, joined by Vietnam veterans present at the event.

Donnelly’s son Dylan, also in fifth grade at BIS, was also helping serve diners during the post’s spaghetti fundraiser for BIS fifth-graders’ Wreaths Across America projects. Dylan comes regularly to the post’s twice-a-month breakfasts, Amy said. “He loves to come down here,” she said.
