Veteran gives back by serving dinner to city workers

BUCHANAN, Mich. -

A veteran decided earlier this year he wanted to put together a free meal for city employees in Buchanan. He finally accomplished his goal Friday, Veterans Day.
Bob Barnes, 93, served food to workers from city hall, the police and fire, and other city employees at Hilltop Cafe.

Hey says he's just thankful to give back.

"I've received so many thank yous it makes me cry, it really does. They've been very nice to me but this community has been that way ever since I came here. Hilltop here is great about taking care of the people so it's just a good thing for the whole community," Barnes said.
