The Kilroy Coffee Klatch was started by a handful of Veterans looking for a place to share coffee, donuts, and stories with other Veterans. Since then Kilroy has grown into the largest monthly gathering of Veterans in Idaho! 

Our Kilroy Coffee Klatch meets the first Tuesday of every month at 10 a.m. and is FREE to any and all veterans! The general public is also welcome; regular admission charges will apply. Coffee and doughnuts will be served. No RSVP required. We hope you will join us!

August 6, 2024:

Our guest speaker will be Ben Blake, a Marine Corps veteran who served four years as a rifleman with 1st Bn, 3d Marines. He is now the Education Coordinator for the Veterans Upward Bound project in the Treasure Valley.

Ben will speak about his grandfather, Retired U.S. Army Colonel Bob Rosen who served for 30 years. Enlisting in 1942, he attended West Point and in the winter of 1950 he was sent to North Korea.

Within six weeks he was in command of a platoon that would be a part of one of the most intense battles in U.S. military history, the Chosin Reservoir Campaign.

Please note: Admission is only FREE for Veterans who attend the Kilroy Coffee Klatch. Admission will be charged to those who simply wish to visit the museum during that time (without participating in the Coffee Klatch).
