This is a place where veterans can come in, sit back, have a cup of coffee and read or write. A place to leave your thoughts, to share your dreams, to say what's on your mind. From one vet to another, welcome!

Also, a place for the good folks to come in and leave a message for the veterans, and say "thanks"; share a story, poem/prose or whatever. Not to forget the men and women who are serving our country right now! They have caught the torch we have passed on, and will carry it high!
