by | Nov 4, 2024

Join us for a heartwarming evening at the Soldier City’s Veterans Salute Dinner, where we honor the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces. This event, taking place on Friday, November 8, 2024, from 6 PM to 9 PM at 700 Brown Chapel Road, St. Cloud, Florida, a short drive from Melbourne, Florida, is not just a dinner; it’s a celebration of courage, sacrifice, and community spirit.

A Night to Remember

Picture this: a warm atmosphere filled with laughter and camaraderie, where war veterans gather to share stories and enjoy a delicious free steak dinner. Yes, you read that right! Thanks to the generosity of local sponsors and community donations, we aim to provide as many free meals as possible to our St. Cloud veterans. So, if you know a veteran or are one yourself, this is your night!

The evening will kick off with a presentation of Colors, followed by a 21-gun salute honoring those who have served. And let’s not forget the poignant sounds of T.A.P.S., which will remind us of the sacrifices made for our freedom.

Get Involved

If you want to make an impact, consider becoming a table sponsor for $500. This includes eight seats at your table, with the option to donate two seats for veterans. Alternatively, you can donate your entire table—every little bit helps! If you’re accompanying a veteran, their admission is free, while spouses can join for just $25. General admission is available for $50, making it an affordable way to support our heroes while enjoying a fantastic evening.
