Legion post donates to coffeehouse
PUTNAM — The Mayotte-Viens Post #13 of the American Legion recently made a $3,000 donation to the Danielson Veterans Coffeehouse.
The donation will help pay for the meals that are served every Tuesday morning to more than 100 attendees. The coffeehouse provides a comfortable location for all veterans, both men and women of any age, to meet, have breakfast, socialize and connect with one another while providing and discussing information regarding veterans’ benefits and services through federal and state agencies and programs.
According to their President, Fred Ruhlemann, a U.S. Navy Vietnam Era veteran, “We are in our 12th year of operation, and going strong.” On the first Thursday morning of the month, the coffeehouse also does monthly food distributions to needy recipients at the Farmers Market Pavilion in Putnam.
According to Post #13 Commander Michael Rocchetti, a USAF Iraq War veteran, “We are fortunate to have this organization in Putnam. The breakfast meals that the DVCH provide to the veterans are a special treat, especially for those on fixed-incomes, that can’t afford to eat at restaurants”.
“We greatly appreciate the generous donation made by Post 13. It will really help us feed the local veterans,” said Ruhlemann.
The Mayotte-Viens Post 13 American Legion was chartered in Putnam in 1919, shortly after the end of WWI. The American Legion is the nation’s largest veteran’s organization, and it stands on four pillars: national security, veteran’s affairs and rehabilitation, children & youth, and Americanism. All veterans are encouraged to join, and can apply on-line at: https://www.legion.org
