Vietnam-Era Veteran Breakfast
2026-03-25 09:00 - 17:00 | Augusta Civic Center, 76 Community Drive, Augusta, Maine, 04330, United States
When I was injured, Vietnam veterans were some of the first to welcome me home. They showed me that life might look different, but it would still be good. Many of them never received that same welcome when they returned. That’s why we host this breakfast every year, to say thank you, and to finally say the words they’ve always deserved to hear: Welcome home.

If you’re a Vietnam-Era Veteran, we invite you and a guest to attend.

BIW Support Breakfast
2025-12-20 05:00 - 10:00 | VFW Post 2197, 79 Foreside Rd, Topsham, ME 04086, Topsham, Maine, 04086, United States
This Saturday the 20th, we will be putting on a breakfast for folks from BIW. This is a good fund-raiser for us, last year we fed about 100 people. Anyone who can help out for a few hours please stop by at the Topsham Legion. The cooking crew is pretty well set, but we need to set up tables & chairs upstairs. We then need to tak them back down & do a wipe down. We will be gathering at the Legion at 5:30am, if you can’t do that early, we could use help around 9:30am to start putting away tables, chairs & doing dishes.
