8th annual Mayor's Veterans Day Breakfast a chance to leave troubles at the door

Hundreds of veterans joined Ashland officials Wednesday for the eighth annual Mayor’s Veterans Day Breakfast at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Club. The free meal was funded by local donations, and veterans were welcomed by community members and city leaders. Afghanistan veteran Tim Chandler said the gathering offered a chance to reconnect with fellow veterans and set aside personal troubles, while noting that mental health challenges can return after the event.
