UPCOMING EVENTS
NEWS & HIGHLIGHTS
Another Great Parade Showing!
The weather was perfect for the 2025 Holidays By the Sea Parade! We combined creativity, time, talent and treasure with the US Coast Guard, USCG Auxiliary, 102nd ANG, and our FCVC crew, friends and families to put together a true spectacle!
Holiday Movie Night!
This year's parade theme was "Holiday Movie Night." Our entry was the Netflix RomCom OPERATION CHRISTMAS DROP, which features the real-life military operation out of Andersen AFB. Our talented team recreated the control tower, islands and even the cargo plane & parachuting crates of cargo!

Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break
Mission
More than meeting for coffee, the JQVCB mission is to build an all inclusive community where, in collaboration with local military support organizations and community partners, all Veterans and their families can find fellowship, targeted and effective services, and a wide variety of programs.
About
Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break, Inc. is an all-inclusive, nonprofit Veteran organization in Falmouth, Massachusetts. A 501(c)3 registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, we represent all branches of the military and members of the community with a connection to service in the military.

Joe "Q" Quintiliani
The late Joe Quintiliani (“Joe Q” to his friends) was a long-time Falmouth resident who had a distinguished career in the United States Coast Guard as a deep-sea diver, and a second career as a firefighter on Cape Cod. In recognition of his selfless service to the Veteran community, the Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break was named in his honor. The Falmouth area Veteran coffee break concept was developed in June of 2016 by Joe and his friends who recognized the need to build fellowship among area Veterans and to provide them with vital information and guidance about programs and services available to Veterans. Joe Quintiliani had a vision to improve quality of life for those who served by providing the support and information today’s Veterans and their families need. Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break has set a course to make Joe Q’s vision a reality for Falmouth-area Veterans and their families for many years to come.
