🇺🇸 BRING A VETERAN GUEST 🇺🇸

This year, as American Legion Post 1 celebrates our 107th Birthday, we want to begin a new tradition.

If you attend our Birthday Celebration on Tuesday, June 16th, we encourage you to bring a veteran guest with you.

Invite a friend.
Invite a neighbor.
Invite a fellow veteran who may not have a place to connect anymore.

This celebration is about more than a birthday.

It’s about honoring those who served, celebrating the incredible resurgence of Post 1, and bringing veterans together in fellowship, camaraderie, and community.

And yes — your veteran guest’s meal is FREE.

🔥 Chef Gary Thompson will be serving:
• Smoked & Grilled Baby Back Ribs
• Grilled Chicken
• BBQ Baked Beans
• Potato Salad
• Fresh Green Salad
• Fresh Rolls
• Chocolate Sheet Cake

🎤 Special Guest Speaker:
Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols IV

📅 Tuesday, June 16th
⏰ Doors Open at 5:00 PM
🍽 Dinner at 6:00 PM

Because we are expecting a large crowd, we strongly encourage everyone to RSVP using the QR code in the graphic.

If you are bringing a guest, you can include them when submitting your RSVP. If you have already RSVP’d and later decide to bring a veteran guest, you can RSVP separately for them, or they can do it themselves the QR code.

If you only attend one Post 1 event this year…
This is the one we hope you’ll come to.

Only at Tulsa’s Historic American Legion Post 1!

VetFest Broken Arrow to Provide Direct Access to VA Benefits and Veteran Support Services

Broken Arrow, OK — EAGLE OPS Foundation, in partnership with VA representatives, the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, Veteran Service Organizations, and Life.Church South Broken Arrow, will host VetFest Broken Arrow on Saturday, May 30 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at 5801 S Elm Place.

VetFest is a free Veteran Resource Fair designed to give Veterans direct, in-person access to the services and support they have earned. Representatives will be available on site to assist with:

●VA health care enrollment
●Disability and survivor claims
●Toxic exposure screenings (TES)
●Claim status questions
●VA ID cards
●Adding or removing dependents
●Connections to local Veteran resources

This year’s event will also include the first Unenrolled Veteran Town Hall hosted in partnership with the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System (EOVAHCS).
From 11:00-12:00 Director Dr. Denning will be speaking in the Life Church Konnect Room.

While EOVAHCS regularly hosts local and virtual Veteran Town Halls, this special session is designed specifically for Veterans who have never enrolled in VA health care and want to better understand the benefits available to them. EOVAHCS Executive Director Kimberly Denning, DNP, RN will host the Unenrolled Veteran Town Hall from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the Konnect Room during VetFest.

“VetFest is about access,” said Johnathon Shepherd, Executive Director of Eagle OPS Foundation. “When we bring VA partners, Veteran Service Organizations, and community leaders together in one place, Veterans have the opportunity to get answers face-to-face and connect directly with the services available to them.”

The event is free and open to all Veterans and their families. Food trucks and family-friendly activities will also be available throughout the day.

Media representatives are invited to attend. Interviews with organizers, participating partners, and attending Veterans can be arranged on site.
