Out to lunch with history
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan -- Airmen from the Transit Center at Manas enjoyed a meal with World War II veterans April 13; as veterans trickled into the restaurant wearing their hats and earned medals, their aged hands and faces brought an era of history to the table.
Once a month, eight Kyrgyzstan and Russian WWII veterans meet for lunch at a restaurant with approximately eight American service members as part of the Manas Area Benefit Outreach Society (MABOS). The veterans and service members spend time talking about life experiences, interests and anything that comes to mind.
