Portraits of Service: Coffee, Veterans and Honor
May is a powerful month of remembrance—a time when we pause to honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering service of our veterans.
As Memorial Day approaches, Coffee & Connections is humbled to stand beside those who have served, and to recognize the deep impact their commitment has had on our freedoms and communities.
Portraits of Service is more than an event—it’s a reflection of gratitude.
It’s our way of saying thank you to the heroes among us by offering connection, recognition, and support as they navigate life beyond the uniform. From providing professional headshots to fostering meaningful conversations and career-building moments, we aim to spotlight the stories that deserve to be heard.
At Coffee & Connections, we believe in building stronger communities through unity, compassion, and purpose. This month, we are especially proud to uplift our veteran community—because honoring their legacy means carrying their stories forward, not just in memory, but in action.
We are grateful to be part of something so special. Let May be a reminder that freedom was never free—and that gratitude should never go unspoken.
