LINK UP VETS

05/25/2026

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice gave us the freedoms we enjoy every day, and we carry their memory with gratitude and respect.

As we spend time with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we also pause to reflect on those who are no longer with us — the heroes we remember and the loved ones we hold close in our hearts.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day filled with remembrance, gratitude, and time spent with the people you love.

Paintball ‘26 was a great time with you all that came out to spatter some paint, BBQ, and enjoy the camaraderie with fellow vets and family!

Thank you Albany Outdoor Paintball! They have an awesome crew running some awesome matches. Check out their schedule of events.

Reminder to check in on your brothers and sisters frequently, warriors. Some are fighting battles that we don’t see daily.

Join us again for an action-packed day of outdoor paintball and BBQ fun! Veterans and their families are invited to dive into thrilling battles like Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination, and Zombies. Whether you're playing or spectating, this event always delivers non-stop entertainment.
Link Up Vets will cover the entry fee, basic rental package, and paintballs for veterans and their immediate families. We'll also provide a delicious BBQ for everyone who joins us.
