It has become a Veterans Day tradition; the local Hula’s in Escalon offers a free meal – whether that be breakfast, lunch or dinner – to veterans on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Along Jackson Avenue in Escalon, Hula’s owner Tony Victorino said they have been providing the free meals for the last seven or eight years. The free meal invitation is extended to all service members/military personnel. Veterans Day is Thursday, Nov. 11; Victorino added that this is open to all veterans throughout the region, not just Escalon.
