What happens when a pair of Marine and Army veterans walk into a bar?

They cook Thanksgiving for 100 veterans living on the margins of the St. Pete community.

Well, them and their goodwill crew (which includes a sister-in-law from Pennsylvania, who came directly to the brewery from the airport).

Bayboro Brewing Company owner and veteran James Coleman said it took more than 12 hours and an extra trip to Costco for green beans.

But they did it on Wednesday in the kitchen at the restaurant's St. Pete location.

Coleman works with the charity Signatures for Soldiers, and they partnered with a Pinellas County VA program that helps house homeless veterans.

“This is our way to acknowledge their service and sacrifice, especially as we enter this season of thanks,” said founder Tim Virgilio.

Virgilio said Signature for Soldiers has raised more than $200,000 for veterans.

They raise money when notable public figures sign pictures or sports gear or a piece of paper for the charity.

Virgilio said they also gladly accept whenever a veteran wants have fundraisers at their Brewery.

On Wedmesday, Coleman was found spraying poultry in a smoker with apple cider vinegar — in all, he and his team cooked about 100 chickens and 20 turkeys.

All of them, he said, were a result of a Nov. 12 Veterans Day fundraiser at Bayboro Brewing.

“It’s really cool to see the community rally around these vets that have been recently homeless and now are trying to get back on their feet," Coleman said. "So this is all Pinellas County — this is all going to local guys."

Not only is Coleman a U.S. Marine veteran, so’s the chef telling everybody what to do.

Bill Tarleton said he’s lucky to have a job where he loves what he does.

“It’s very difficult to find your way sometimes,” he said. "Especially after some of these guys probably have debilitating injuries and they can’t function. And I know plenty of people like that. It’s great to be able to give back just a little bit.

As the chef and crew started to get tough with 75 pounds of steaming potatoes, sweet stuff was going down in the closed brewery tasting room.

It’s where 9-year-old Kaleb Duff is crew leader — wrapping desserts with other members of his immediate family on the Under-9 Crew."

“It feels good,” said Duff. “I get to help with my family, help veterans, help with the food, because they’ve been at war helping us.”

Duff is part of Coleman’s family.

As Coleman moves from the smoker to the kitchen, where meals are being packed, he said he is grateful to be able to do this, and grateful that 100 veterans and their families will know they are not forgotten.
