The 25 April 2026 edition of the Connecticut Veterans Bulletin provides a comprehensive roadmap of activities and support systems for the state’s military community across three distinct volumes:

Volume 1: Immediate Events (Late April)

This volume focuses on the final week of April, featuring 28 time-sensitive events. Highlights include the Connecticut Grateful Dead All Stars performance at Westport VFW Post 399 and a series of localized gatherings such as the Somers Department of Veterans Affairs Coffeehouse. The calendar also tracks specific community needs, such as the Tri-Town American Legion Baseball registration and various Post-level Bingo and Texas Hold ‘Em tournaments.

Volume 2: Long-Range Planning (May – September)

Spanning 192 listings, Volume 2 covers events through early autumn. Key featured listings include the Memorial Day Ceremony at the State Veterans Cemetery and the Earth Day Can & Bottle Drive supporting the WWII Legacy Foundation. Significant upcoming dates include the 2nd Annual Heroes Gala in June, the Annual Freedom Isn’t Free Ride in August, and the SGT David Coullard Golf Outing. This volume serves as a primary tool for veterans and organizations to coordinate long-term schedules.

Volume 3: Recurring Resources & Directories

This volume acts as a permanent reference guide for ongoing veteran life in Connecticut:

  • Community & Food: Details dozens of recurring “Coffee Houses” and “Pasta Dinners,” including the American Legion Post 68 Berlin Pasta Dinner and Wallingford VFW Post 591 Sunday Breakfasts.
  • Wellness & Therapy: Catalogs specialized programs like Horse Feathers Veterans Program, Dog Star Veterans, and Soldier Songs and Voices.
  • Direct Support: Includes an updated directory for Emergency Resources (rent, utilities, and housing), the Easterseals Veterans Rally Point food pantry, and employment services via the Connecticut Department of Labor.
  • Legacy & Membership: Provides guidance on the Veteran of the Month Flag Ceremonies and applications for the American Legion Riders and Surfside Veterans.
