Veterans Breakfast Club

Every Veteran Has a Story. What's Yours? 


 

Veterans Breakfast Club & Jewish Film Series Honor our Campus Veterans (Ages 18+) (Adult)

The Veterans Breakfast Club has recorded the stories of seventeen veterans who live at Heritage Manor and Levy Gardens or participate in Adult Day Services in Youngstown. Our documentary film brings their voices together into a portrait of military service across generations and every branch of the Armed Forces. Their stories span World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, and the Gulf War—stories of combat and hardship, but also friendship, humor, and everyday military life. Together, these interviews preserve a remarkable piece of Youngstown's living history and remind us what can be discovered when we simply take the time to ask veterans about their lives and then listen.
