Somers Veterans Coffee House
Join us for a special event! Rear Admiral Brian L. LaRoche (retired) USN will be our honored speaker at the June coffeehouse.
Adm. LaRoche will share an informative presentation on a topic of which few are familiar. In the decades after the United States formally declared its independence in 1776, Americans struggled to gain recognition of their new republic and their rights as citizens. None had to fight harder than the nation’s seamen (U.S. Navy), whose labor took them far from home and deep into the Atlantic world.
Adm LaRoche tells the story of our Citizen Sailors Post-1776 and how their efforts to become American at sea during war and revolution created the first national, racially inclusive model of United States citizenship.
Also, learn more about the U.S. Navy and its daily mission to keep America safe.

Max Corvo For Freedom The War of the OSS in Italy
Max Corvo For Freedom The War of the OSS in Italy
William Corvo will present a documentary about his father, Max Corvo titled: “Max Corvo for Freedom, the War of OSS in Italy, 1943 – 1945“. The docufilm tells the true story of a young Sicilian immigrant who, after coming to America and becoming Americanized, joins the Army before World War II and becomes the Chief of Operations of Secret Intelligence of the American OSS (Office of Strategic Services), the precursor of the CIA, in Italy during the Allied campaign in Italy from 1943 to 1945. The young Sicilian is Biagio ‘Max’ Corvo, originally from Melilli, Sicily. He immigrated to the United States in 1929 at the age of nine, with his mother, brother and sister to join their father, Cesare, who was forced to leave the island, six years before because he was persecuted by the Fascist regime.
