The Collier County Veterans Council

recurring events

The Veterans Council conducts several public patriotic ceremonies throughout the year. They include Memorial Day, Indedpendence Day parade, Veterans Day, and Flag Day(June 14). Council members staff these events by organizing speakers, setting up venues, speaking to crowds, and performing patriotic rituals.

In addition, we gather to support funerals of veterans in Lee and Collier Counties. We also volunteer to staff veteran-related fund raisers and special events. Our monthly meetings provide a friendly forum where veteran groups can make public announcements, network, and support each other with information. They are given a platform to announce their upcoming events, recent successes, and invite veterans to support their cause.
