UPCOMING EVENTS
Open Conversation on VBC Happy Hour means we supply the platform, and you bring the subjects you’d like to discuss and questions you’d like to have answered. What’s salt water soap? How is the Marine Corps changing? What’s the war in Ukraine all about? Was the M-16 really that bad? What sank the USS Thresher? The talk is free flowing and always interesting. Sponsored by D&D Auto Salvage and Tobacco Free Adagio Health. Simulcast to Facebook and YouTube. JOIN ON ZOOM.
Ground has broken for the new National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, TX. On Greatest Generation Live, we talk with Museum Content Officer Robert Shenk, and also with the family and biographer of WWII pilot John “Red” Morgan, Medal of Honor recipient whose story was dramatized in the movie Twelve O’Clock High. Sponsored by D&D Auto Salvage and Tobacco Free Adagio Health. Simulcast to Facebook and YouTube. JOIN ON ZOOM.

GET INVOLVED TODAY
The mission of the Veterans Breakfast Club is to create communities of listening around veterans and their stories to ensure that this living history will never be forgotten. We believe that through our work, people will be connected, educated, healed, and inspired.
INTRODUCING THE VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT
Preserving veterans’ stories so that this living history is never forgotten.
We pair passionate VBC volunteers with military veterans for one-on-one oral history interviews over Zoom. If you are a veteran, or you know a veteran, who would be interested in sharing his or her story with us, let us know. If you are someone interested in conducting these interviews, please reach out!
