As a token of gratitude, a Maspeth real estate office will be throwing a free breakfast for active service members and veterans just before the community’s annual Memorial Day Parade this Sunday.

O’Kane Realty at 72-01 Grand Ave. will serve the veterans out of their offices from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The brokers invite residents to bring freshly baked goods such as cookies or cake to thank those who fought in defense of the nation.

Along with breakfast, the event will also feature free giveaways and an appearance by a stilt-walking Uncle Sam.

The breakfast takes place immediately prior to the start of the Maspeth Memorial Day Parade, which gets underway at the nearby Garlinge Memorial Triangle at the corner of Grand and 57th Avenues at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
