<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; To honor area veterans, the Luzerne County Transportation Authority will once again offer free rides on its fixed route buses and present commemorative pins to all active duty military and all veterans Monday, Nov. 12.</p><p>Veterans should show the bus driver their military ID card; VA medical card or Certificate of Discharge. They will then receive their commemorative pin, which will serve as their &#8220;bus ticket&#8221; for the entire day.</p><p>LCTA will also host a special table at the Intermodal Center in Wilkes-Barre from 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. All veterans visiting the table will receive a small lunch tote (while supplies last) with a veteran&#8217;s pin, a drink, and a snack. Also, courtesy of McDonald&#8217;s/Pat Stella, the lunch tote will have a certificate for a free cheeseburger from participating McDonald&#8217;s.</p><p>LCTA is proud to have many employees who are veterans, from drivers to mechanics to administrative staff. In honor of those employees and as an effort to assist local veterans, LCTA Human Resources Director Janine Hennigan will be on hand to provide employment outreach assistance to veterans interested in pursuing a career with LCTA.</p><style>
