NEWS & HIGHLIGHTS
Guitars 4 Vets Falmouth Chapter Excells
Since its founding in the Fall of 2024, the Falmouth Chapter of the national program, Guitars4Vets has matched 12 Veteran students with 12 volunteer instructors. To date, the program has "graduated" three students and G4V has awarded each of those students their very own new guitar!
FCVC Takes 2nd Place in 2024 Holiday Parade!
Winning 1st place in the 2023 parade gave us the honor of carrying Santa Claus in this year's parade! The FCVC boasted a four-vehicle lineup featuring two pick-up trucks and the USCG TANB26 dressed as reindeer, pulling the custom-built sleigh designed after a US Navy ship, rivets, portholes, anchors and all! "We Have the Watch" featured the US NORAD Command's vigilant, night-time radar watchers scanning the skies for Santa's arrival in Falmouth's airspace, while children of active duty parents from the ANG 102nd rode with Santa, his #1 elf, and a pile of presents for Cape Cod!

A 501(c)3 registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, we represent all branches of the military and members of the community with a connection to service in the military.

Joe "Q" Quintiliani
The late Joe Quintiliani (“Joe Q” to his friends) was a long-time Falmouth resident who had a distinguished career in the United States Coast Guard as a deep-sea diver, and a second career as a firefighter on Cape Cod. In recognition of his selfless service to the Veteran community, the Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break was named in his honor. The Falmouth area Veteran coffee break concept was developed in June of 2016 by Joe and his friends who recognized the need to build fellowship among area Veterans and to provide them with vital information and guidance about programs and services available to Veterans. Joe Quintiliani had a vision to improve quality of life for those who served by providing the support and information today’s Veterans and their families need. Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break has set a course to make Joe Q’s vision a reality for Falmouth-area Veterans and their families for many years to come.
