Overview
Our annual Veterans Day Breakfast includes thank-you notes handmade by local students for veterans, an uplifting service song medley, keynote remarks, and a gourmet breakfast. The War Memorial is pleased to offer a space for local service-members to experience camaraderie over a meal together.
We are delighted to welcome Medal of Honor Recipient Terry Richardson, who will serve as keynote speaker at this year’s Veterans Day Breakfast. This marks the second time in as many years that a Medal of Honor recipient will be at this event after Jim McCloughan spoke in 2025.
Richardson is a Vietnam War veteran and one of only 65 living recipients of the Medal of Honor- our nations highest award for military valor in action. Veterans and the public are warmly invited to attend this event and hear firsthand from one of our nation’s most decorated military heroes.
The event is free for Veterans, and 20 for guests. In order for us to serve as many Veterans as possible, we ask that there be no more than one guest per Veteran ticket requested.
Join us for a coffee hour in the Community Room from 8-9am. This event is presented through the generosity of the Louisa St. Clair Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. This year’s breakfast is also presented in conjunction with The Helm at the Boll Life Center.
Reservations are required.
