You have a chance today to enjoy a pulled pork lunch or dinner, and to help aging veterans visit Washington D.C.

The American Legion Post, on 25th Street in Columbus, will be hosting the cookout from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. to benefit Honor Flight. Susan Thayer-Fye is one of the organizers of the local Honor Flight fundraising. The organization takes veterans to DC to visit the memorials associated with their service.

Each flight costs about $450 per veteran, Thayer-Fye said. She adds that the meal will cost you $8 and that there will also be raffles and door prizes.
