Somers Department of Veterans Affairs

This Memorial Day, the Somers Department of Veterans Affairs and the Legacy of Service: Somers Veterans Foundation, Inc. invite the community to gather for a morning of remembrance, reflection, and connection at the Veterans Coffeehouse Memorial Day Event.
In a time when our nation continues to honor generations of service, this event offers a quiet yet powerful space to share stories that shaped lives and communities. Guests are invited to reflect on the question, “Who are you remembering today?” and to contribute their memories to the Remembrance Board, a dignified display where every card tells a story of courage, sacrifice, and love. There will also be other events, to include a selfie photo booth with prompts and an information table introducing the non profit, Legacy of Service, to the community.
The Veterans Coffeehouse is more than a gathering-it’s a living tribute. Through shared reflection, we honor those who served and those who carried their legacy forward. Each conversation, each memory, becomes part of a collective remembrance that bridges generations.
Event Details: 
Saturday, May 30, 2026 / 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM 
Somers Town Hall, 600 Main St., Somers, CT

All are welcome-veterans, families, friends, and neighbors-to join in this heartfelt tribute. Whether you share aloud or simply pause in quiet reflection, your presence helps ensure that every story, every sacrifice, continues to matter.
