How Many Veterans Are In The LKN Area?

Did you know there are approximately 90,000 military veterans in the four counties surrounding Lake Norman (LKN)?! Despite the lack of proximity from a major military installation, that’s a lot of veterans!  

Here To Serve YOU

With the abundance of veterans scattered across the lake's 520 miles of shoreline and inland, we recognized a need to bring us together in a casual, fun and patriotic environment. Our website and social media pages “connect and bring recognition to Lake Norman military veterans and those that proudly support them!”   


We proudly serve the LKN area to include: Huntersville, Davidson, Cornelius, Mooresville, Denver, Stanley, Sherrills Ford, Troutman, Terrell and Statesville.   

What We Offer

As the lake's premier online resource, we're here to help you: 

  

  • CONNECT with local veterans, active duty members, military spouses and the LKN community.   


  • IDENTIFY and THANK our businesses that "give back" with a military program, discount or incentive.


  • ENHANCE, not replace, the in-person networking, veteran organizations and events.


For the "ultimate connection," make sure you Like/Follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages!
