The Veterans Breakfast Club brings American history to life.
VBC programs provide veterans and members of the public the opportunity to listen and share their one-of-a-kind stories, while engaging with other local veterans.
Since 2008, VBC has served the local veteran community in the greater Pittsburgh area, hosting weekly local gatherings for veterans. In 2020, we transitioned to virtual programming and announced a national expansion of the organization, opening its programs to veterans around the country and world.
In addition to hosting two in-person events per month, VBC also holds a weekly program online, VBC Happy Hour, and publishes the quarterly VBC Magazine, the weekly VBC Bulletin e-newsletter, and a weekly podcast on military culture, The Scuttlebutt.
Join us for our in-person VBC breakfast at Pitt-Greensburg campus (Hempfield Room, Chambers Hall, Finoli Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601) on Saturday, May 4, 8:30am-10:30am. The buffet breakfast is $10 suggested donation, and everyone is welcome, including non-veterans.
Breakfast will be served at 8:30am, and the stories will begin at 9:00am. We’ll continue with the program until 10:30am.
At our last breakfast on UPG campus in May, we heard stories from four generations of veterans, from World War II to the present.
We expect a large crowd on May 4, and please join us. You never know what you’re going to hear, and there’s always new people with new memories to offer.
