Serving and honoring past, present, and future veterans
Broken Arrow has a long-standing tradition of honoring and supporting veterans. The Broken Arrow Veterans Center is a 4,600-square-foot facility built in 2021 and is home to the local chapters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of America, the Military Order of the Purple Heart, and the Blue Star Mothers.
The space is used regularly for meetings of local veteran groups and is also available for event rental to the public with two meeting space options and a catering kitchen. The Veterans Center is run and managed by a board of directors, consisting of a representative from each veteran group. The Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs maintains an office in this facility to assist Veterans with their claims with the Veterans Administration.
