This looks like a must-see for our Iraq and Afghanistan veteran community.

11 Days: The Story of Operation Pineapple Express is coming to Torp Theater at Central Connecticut State University for two performances:

Friday, October 2 at 7 PM
Saturday, October 3 at 7 PM

Written and performed by retired Green Beret Lt. Col. Scott Mann, the show tells the true story of the volunteer network that helped rescue more than 1,000 Afghan allies during the fall of Kabul in 2021.

A powerful story from a chapter of history that hits especially close to home for many who served during the Global War on Terror.

All ticket proceeds benefit APK Charities Corporation.

Join APK Charities for a special presentation of 11 Days: The Story of Operation Pineapple Express 🎬 11 Days is a powerful one-man show written and performed…

🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET — SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation was changed forever.

We remember the 2,977 innocent lives taken on September 11, 2001. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, the families who never got to say goodbye, and the countless Americans whose lives were forever changed.

And here at the Connecticut Afghanistan & Iraq Veterans War Memorial Fund, we also remember what followed.

A generation answered the call to serve. They deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and throughout the world. Some never returned home. Others returned carrying wounds, both visible and unseen.

The names engraved on our memorial in Danbury are a lasting reminder of the Connecticut men and women who gave their lives during the wars that followed September 11.

Today, we remember where it began.
We honor those we lost.
We honor those who answered the call.
And we promise to keep their memory alive.

September 11, 2001; 25 years later, we still remember. We always will. 🇺🇸

National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day

Today, we honor the brave men and women who answered the call during the Korean War and remember the sacrifices made in defense of freedom.

Often called the “Forgotten War,” the service and sacrifice of Korean War veterans must never be forgotten. Their courage, resilience, and commitment helped shape history and preserved the freedoms we enjoy today.

At the Afghanistan Iraq Veterans War Memorial Fund, we are proud to stand in remembrance of all who have served across every generation. We honor those who came home, remember those who never did, and remain committed to ensuring their legacy lives on.

To all Korean War veterans: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering dedication to our nation. We will never forget.
