Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - For most North Americans, Memorial Day is an annual holiday to honor all who died while defending their nation and its values.

Here in Puerto Vallarta, the American Legion Post 14 will host a free Memorial Day event, offering a hot dog, hamburger, chips, and one free drink to every military veteran who wishes to come to Steve's Sports Bar on Monday, May 28 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. There will also be a 50/50 raffle for prizes.

Sponsored by the American Legion Post 14, the purpose of the event is to honor the men and women who died serving in the U.S. and Canadian armed services, while still mixing in the traditional festive spirit and good times associated with the holiday.

The American Legion is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization devoted to military veterans, their families, and their communities.

All veterans are encouraged to come out and enjoy the event and, if interested, learn more about the benefits of American Legion membership.
