Veterans Day FREE SOS Breakfast, 2025

🇺🇲 HONORING ALL WHO SERVED: Veterans, service members, and cadets may get a free serving of coffee, home fries, and SOS over biscuit or sausage patty at the Trinity Bar & Restaurant from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (157 Orange St. New Haven) on November 11, 2025.

​

Sponsored by Trinity and organized by the VFW New Haven Post 12150 and the American Legion New Haven Post 210, the SOS breakfast will honor our military veterans by offering them a serving of the popular military breakfast staple–free of charge.

​

Celebrated Trinity Chef and Co-Owner Shane Carty, Master Sgt. Frank Alvarado (Ret) and Master Sgt. Cliff Potter (Ret), will prepare and serve the SOS gravy based on the 1942 edition of The Army Cook (TM 10-405).

​

The breakfast is open to military veterans, current service members, and cadets (including UNH, Yale, Hillhouse High School JROTC, and Civil Air Patrol Connecticut Minuteman Composite Squadron) and one guest.

​

Additionally, veterans and citizens are invited to attend the City of New Haven Veterans Day Ceremonies at 11:00 a.m. at New Haven City Hall (165 Church St, New Haven, CT 06510) with a subsequent wreath-laying ceremony at the Great War Flagpole on the Green.
