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. This event is free for all Veterans, and all Veterans are invited to attend. 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!

May 6, 2025:

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Tom Greco will share the story and history of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT), the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in the history of the US military. 

This Japanese American combat team was awarded over 4,000 Purple Hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, 560 Silver Stars, 21 Medals of Honor, seven Presidential Unit Citations, and in 2010 the Congressional Gold Medal for their heroic service in World War II. 

Hear the story of the Japanese American Nisei men who, despite years of suspicion and racism, fought for their country while their families were isolated and interned in relocation camps. These brave men fought heroically, leaving behind a record that is still untouched today.

Ready for more Kilroy Coffee Klatch?

Watch previous Coffee Klatch’s on our Kilroy Coffee Klatch page. We have selected videos of the event starting from December 2010 available.

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).
