If you have visited us or drove past our home in the last couple of months you may have noticed construction equipment, materials, and storage all over the property. That's because we are in the middle of a remodel! Construction started at the end of 2025 on our C 300 hall, updating Veterans rooms. Workers are continuing to work on the Veterans halls but are now getting ready to begin the next phase which is the front of our building. In the next week you will notice temporary fencing going up around the perimeter and soon after our front entrance will be moved over to the VSO side of the building as the construction crews begin to work on our new front entrance. Look for signs and banners to direct you to the entrance as well as continuing to check here for updates! Thank you for being understanding!

Check out our new smoker, specially built for our needs by Ole Hickory Pits! Our 20 year old smoker met his maker in December and thanks to the Cape Girardeau Veterans Home Foundation and two outstanding community members who donated large sums to this project we were able to get a replacement. Now our Veterans can enjoy ribs, pork steaks and more just like before. Thank you to Craig and Terry for stepping up and donating to this cause and for Ole Hickory Pits for working with us to get this project completed. We can't wait to fire it up!

She excels as a charge nurse and fill in supervisor and does it all with a positive attitude. Thank you Markita for making a difference in our Veterans lives.
