About 90 seniors and other Fallbrook-area residents attended a special lunch on Nov. 9 that honored local military veterans.

“It was a festive, well-attended meal,” Patricia Roybal said of the event held at the Fallbrook Community Center.

“It was a sweet tribute to our veterans who have sacrificed for our freedom,” said Roybal, who is involved in an array of activities at the Fallbrook Senior Center, which organized the event.

Many of the 18 veterans who were recognized in the center’s monthly newsletter attended the special lunch that featured turkey and all the trimmings.
