The Different Drummer Cafe, located near Ft. Drum, hopes to “to provide soldiers and families at Ft. Drum with an inviting and comfortable (and warm!) place to socialize and to hear music and other live entertainment. Soldiers will also have access to legal counselling, a bookstore, and a regular program of film showings and discussions on current issues.” The cafe is a project of Citizen Soldier.
Some upcoming events planned at the cafe, all FREE, include a “Halloween Kickoff Party” with live music, a screening of “The Ground Truth” , and a “Veteran’s Day Gala” featuring a local blues band.
“If not for the efforts of … Courage to Resist, there’s no way that a president would spend the political capital to grant a commutation.”
