Captain America visits Antique Queens

Antique Queens recently hosted "Captain America" (Allen Mullins-right) as he and dog, Justice continue their walk across the U.S. to gain attention for issues facing homeless veterans. Captain A was hosted by Antique Queens owner, Cody Caldwell (L) and manager, Lanna Caldwell (C). Mullins appeals to state capitol cities as well as some smaller towns as he zig-zags across the country.

Antique Queens hopes citizens will support their local VFW with contributions as a way to help Captain America's mission.
