The Week Ahead: Waterfront Warriors, Boardwalk Rebuilding

Here's a look ahead at what's happening in Long Beach this week:

Beach Town R&R for Veterans: Through this week the Long Beach Waterfront Warriors will host wounded, ill and injured soldiers and their families with an expense-paid vacation in the beach town.
