Lions Club donates bench to veterans home
Someone special needed to sit in the brand new bench in front of the Post Falls Veterans Home, so resident Bob Doyle stepped right up for a good news photo opportunity. The bench was donated by the River City Branch Lions Club, officers of which visited the veterans home to thank the residents for their service and celebrate the presentation of this special gift. "It means the world to us to have this," said a smiling Doyle, a U.S. Army veteran who served in the Vietnam War. "We can all enjoy the outdoors. We always need a bench, somewhere to sit."
