For veterans in need.
We have received a good many donations lately.
Please let us know if you have a need, and we will check our inventory.

We verify veteran status, have a short form to fill out, and can deliver.

Need a fresh flag for Flag Day?

828 VETS will continue their tradition of replacing ready-to-retire flags with free new ones at Appalachian Ace Hardware on Saturday, June 13th from 8AM until we run out.

It's our honor to be of service to the community in this way.

Coming up: Leg Day!

Haha, we're just kidding.
It is a legislative day, so plenty important.

Spreading the word for the North Carolina Veterans Council:

"Please see the attached flyer regarding the upcoming North Carolina Veterans Council Legislative Day. If you are able to, please share with veterans and other veteran organizations. We are spreading the word so as many veterans, their family members, and supporters can attend.

Please direct any questions to Commander T. Williamson or Legislative Chair Brown. Their telephone numbers can be found at the bottom of the attached flyer."

Join us at our Community Engagement Social tonight (Friday) at 5pm at Picantes and also at Lazy Hiker afterwards for some laid-back fun. We want to engage our community and that means you and all your closest friends, coworkers, families who want to engage veterans. Thank you!

*Always the last Friday of the month, we hold our community engagement socials at various establishments in the 828 area code. Next month, if you want to try a place out of town, we will be at Breadheads' Tiki Shak on May 29, and then we plan to be at Slanted Window Wines on June 26th.

Also, look for us at the local gun show this weekend, all over at community events next month, and at the farmer's market selling hot dogs again this summer!
