NORTHERN MICHIGAN – Communities across the region host “coffee hours” for vets to get together.
Coffee Hours are a simple but meaningful way for those who’ve served to come together, swap stories, and enjoy some good company over a warm cup of coffee. It’s less about formal meetings and more about friendship—just a chance to sit down, relax, and catch up with folks who truly understand what it means to serve.
