Suitland, Maryland (PRWEB) June 18, 2014 -- Andrews Federal Credit Union in partnership with the Steak Team Mission provided approximately 600 Texas-style BBQ steak meals with all the trimmings to D-Day vets and their accompanying family members in commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day landing in Normandy, France on June 5.
