 The Veterans Wall of Honor was founded in 2012 by Attorney Bridget Wilson and Benjamin Dillingham to honor LGBTQ veterans for their service in U.S. military service and afterwards their contributions to the LGBTQ and local community. Located in the auditorium of the San Diego LGBT Center, the Wall includes FOG veteran honorees: Michael Klein, Robert Bettinger, Lester Lefkowitz, Frank Stefano, John Keasler and others.
FOG member Judge Guido Casari will be, thanks to the work of his husband Larry Kam and Frank Stefano, inducted into the Wall this year. The ceremony of induction will take place at the San Diego LGBT Center at 6 pm on November 7th. All are welcome to attend.

 Thank you to the over 100 guests who attended FOG’s 31st anniversary banquet held at Bali Hai on beautiful Shelter Island. This banquet had its largest attendance ever!
Special recognition was given to all those who contribute to make FOG a vital and thriving organization throughout the year. An annual membership meeting is held before the dinner where business updates are presented to the membership and officers are elected. Next year’s banquet will be on Thursday, October 9, 2025. Please support the organizations that generously contributed prizes for our 2024 banquet raffle: Bali Hai Restaurant Cygnet Theatre Diversionary Theatre Japanese Friendship Garden La Jolla Music Society La Jolla Playhouse The Old Globe San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus San Diego Symphony Orchestra |
Our organization began when our two founding members met through an ad one of them had placed in a local newspaper, looking for like-minded gay men over 40 who wanted to “socialize and pursue educational, entertainment and cultural interests”. The first meeting took place on September 7, 1993 with 10 people in attendance and we now number around 200 members. Learn more on our About page.
