@pennsyfan - well first let me say I am pleased to see that your community "HAS" a "Veterans Breakfast". Next I think that a patriotic train display would be really a solid thing to present during such an event and the car you illustrated is perfect for such a use. Another solid use would be at a Model Train show that has operating layouts and is open to the public. The train would then be seen by a large segment of adults and their children. Here in Waco, pre COVID we had a Veterans Day Parade and the company I worked for would provide time off for any Vet who participated in the parade. Folks wore their old uniforms (yes I will admit sometime "alterations" had to be made 
) but it was a nice recognition by the community.
