We meet every Tuesday from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Nut Tree Ranch Community Building at 2902 East 2nd St., in Newberg.

This is a place where all veterans are understood. It is a place of peace and a time to share stories. The coffee is generously donated by Caravan Coffee. Please come for a time of sharing a cup of bliss and to rub shoulders with your brothers and sisters.
