If you have an event for Veterans, Service Members, or Military Family Members, let us help you get the word out to the community.
Submit Your EventWaco is a proud Central Texas city on the Brazos River and a hub for the region's Veteran community. The city is home to the Doris Miller VA Medical Center — named for Mess Attendant First Class Doris Miller, the first African American to receive the Navy Cross for his heroism at Pearl Harbor — providing comprehensive healthcare and services to Veterans across McLennan County and the surrounding region. The McLennan County Veterans Service Office and multiple VFW and American Legion posts further anchor the local Veteran network.
Waco sits approximately 60 miles northeast of Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), one of the largest military installations in the world, making it a natural support community for active-duty families and transitioning Service Members. Baylor University operates a robust student veterans program, and local organizations like Warriors Canvas — founded by a Waco High School art teacher and Army veteran — bring innovative healing and connection programs to Veterans across McLennan County.
This site is a community resource brought to you by Di Nola Consulting to help Military Service Members, Veterans, and Military Spouses in Waco discover events, resources, and opportunities throughout the Heart of Texas. Whether you're transitioning out of service, seeking health and wellness support, or looking to connect with fellow Veterans in your community, you'll find it here.
