On Thursday, Nov. 5, John J. Morris Post 62 (Peoria, Ariz.) recognized and presented the November Americanism Award to Fuzzys Sports Grill owners Mike Hoffert and Erik Borgedalen. In attendance from Post 62 was Reda Kennon, historian/Publicity Committee chairman; Pete Rivera, SAL/committee member; and Mike Mays, Post 62 Executive Board member. Fuzzys is a well-known established sports grill in Peoria. When you walk in, you know you are walking into a veteran-sported establishment. Their manager, Michelle Kulman, welcomes you right away upon entering. The food and drinks are outstanding, and they have known how to treat the veterans who come in.

Post 62 has a month award for Americanism. To qualify, they must be within the city limits of Peoria. Businesses are nominated based on their contribution to our military community. As the Publicity Committee chairman, I know firsthand how they treat their veterans, and it is very refreshing to go into this establishment. Post 62 looks forward to collaborating with them in the future.

Thank you to Mike, Erik and Michelle for your hospitality!
