Dave Rogers - U.S. Army/National Guard 1990-2005
Dave Rogers is a Veteran who served in Bosnia, Desert Storm and at the World Trade Center with Homeland Security. Dave retired due to injuries sustained while serving with the New York State National Guard during the aftermath of 9/11 and credits much of his ongoing recovery to the VFW, his artwork and giving back to his community.
In 2020 Dave started Cooking with a Veteran, a 501c3 non-profit organization with the goal of fighting food insecurities among veterans and their families. Started on Long Island, during the pandemic, many older veterans were not getting hot meals. Cooking with a Veteran started by ensuring that many of those veterans in the area were able to get good meals throughout the week. At the height of the program Cooking with a Veteran was feeding 20 veterans three times a week.
