About Kenny Fellows

Kenny is an Afghanistan veteran, having served in the Army for 10 years. After going through a difficult and isolating separation period like many fellow veterans, he found a reason to continue service through his work and help bridge this growing divide with those who have served. With that in mind, we felt the typical celebrations associated with the holiday are not enough to grasp the cost of that service, and wish to host an event that educates as much as it celebrates. Putting a focus on learning about military history in the Bay, and discussing veteran identity and issues, with the goal of bridging this divide.
