At the Veterans Breakfast Club,
Stories Unite Us.
Check out our online & in-person veterans storytelling programs and see our full event schedule below. All are welcome to join us!
It’s been two years since our last gameshow free-for-all on VBC Happy Hour, so we’ve decided to hold another Jeopardy game based on the military experience, culture. and history. We won’t have teams but will open up every question to the Zoom room. We’ll play two rounds with such categories as:
Air Force
Military Acronyms
Navy Ships
WWII Celebrities
Military Slang
and more!
Here are some sample clues:
“Camp Lemonnier is the only permanent US military base in Africa, located in this country whose funny-sounding name begins with a rare silent ‘D.’”
“Coast Guard ships have white hulls, except for these, which have red ones.”
“This was the standard issue sidearm for decades. It’s also the former name of the Houston Astros baseball team and a popular malt liquor.”
Join us for a fun and educational night of military trivia!
Our first VBC storytelling event of 2024 in Sewickley, PA, will be at Christ Church Grove Farm on Wednesday, April 24 at 8:30am. We’ve got a lot to catch up on, new stories to hear, and som new cooks in the kitchen!
We’ll also have our usual fascinating, enjoyable, and poignant Veterans Breakfast Club in-person breakfast program.
You’ll walk in, pick up your name badge, pay $15 if you plan to eat (no cost for those who don’t), and meet others who are there to hear and share the stories. Breakfast is served at 8:30am. At 9:00am, we start the program. For the next 90 minutes, we circulate the room with the microphone and have veterans share a slice of their service experience. You never know what you’re going to hear, and there’s always new people with new memories to offer.
RSVP by calling 412-623-9029 or emailing betty@veteransbreakfastclub.org. Please make sure to RSVP for events at least two days in advance. We understand that your schedule can change quickly, but advance notice of attendance always helps us and our venues prepare the program. Thank you!
Thank you to our event sponsors St. Barnabas Health Systems, Executor Services, and UPMC for Life!

The Veterans Breakfast Club brings American history to life.
VBC programs provide veterans and members of the public the opportunity to listen and share their one-of-a-kind stories, while engaging with other local veterans.
Since 2008, VBC has served the local veteran community in the greater Pittsburgh area, hosting weekly local gatherings for veterans. In 2020, we transitioned to virtual programming and announced a national expansion of the organization, opening its programs to veterans around the country and world.
In addition to hosting two in-person events per month, VBC also holds a weekly program online, VBC Happy Hour, and publishes the quarterly VBC Magazine, the weekly VBC Bulletin e-newsletter, and a weekly podcast on military culture, The Scuttlebutt.
