What to watch: Join us for Coffee with Vets, a morning dedicated to our local veterans, on Saturday, October 25. Veterans, their families, and community members can enjoy complimentary coffee, donuts, and good conversation.

Why it matters: Veterans carry stories of sacrifice, service, and resilience, stories that often go untold. This event provides an intentional way for residents to pause, make connections, and acknowledge their service. Standing beside our veterans helps express our appreciation and ensures their sacrifices for our freedom are not forgotten.

The big picture: Coffee with Vets is more than a simple gathering. It’s a chance for the community to connect with local heroes, share stories, and show genuine appreciation for their service. Hosted at VFW Post 4149, an organization dedicated to supporting veterans, this event welcomes all ages and backgrounds.

Go deeper: The event will take place from 9-11 a.m. at 409 Veterans Airpark Ln. Admission is free, so bring a veteran you know or come drink some coffee and say thanks.
