Saturday — A beef and beer was held Saturday night in honor of injured war vet Brian Long. The 29-year-old was medically discharged from the Army in 2006 for wrist and back injuries after a stint in Iraq. But Long is now having trouble finding medical coverage for his back injury, since it was never documented on his medical records. Friends and family held the beef and beer at Sheffield Tavern to help Long over his expenses, which may include future back surgeries.
