🇺🇸 **THIS ONE MEANS A LOT TO US.** 🇺🇸

On **November 21st at 4PM**, we’re officially kicking off **Victory for Vets, Inc at Trappers Bar & Grill** — and we hope our community will come out and help us start something truly special.

For many veterans, coming home doesn’t mean the battle is over. Sometimes the support that changes a life comes on four paws. ❤️🐾

We’ll have **veterans and their dogs joining us to share their stories** and talk about the impact these incredible animals have had on their lives. We want people to hear firsthand why programs like this matter and why supporting our veterans can make such a difference.

We’ll also be kicking off our very first fundraiser:

🪙 🇺🇸 **A MILE OF QUARTERS** 🇺🇸 🪙

It may only be a quarter at a time, but when a community comes together, those quarters can turn into something pretty powerful.

🎶 **Live music with TJ Sacco**
🇺🇸 **Victory for Vets Kickoff**
🪙 **A Mile of Quarters Fundraiser**
🐾 **Meet veterans & their dogs**
📅 **November 21st**
⏰ **4PM**
📍 **Trappers Bar & Grill — Jacks Reef, NY**

Whether you come to donate, listen to the stories, enjoy the music, shake a veteran’s hand, or simply show your support — **we’d love to have you there.**

These men and women showed up for us.

**Now it’s our turn to show up for them.** 🇺🇸❤️🐾

Please share and help us make our very first **Victory for Vets** event one to remember.

Malea is ready to do big things to help her Veteran Jed!! She started her individual training this week at Certified Canine Services !! We know Jed will miss his girl terribly while she is away learning all the things she needs to know to be the best ever service dog for him and we can't wait for them to be reunited in September and begin working together as partners!

'Here we grow again'!!
Our Service Dog Program has seen fantastic growth this year as we continue to reach more Veterans interested in obtaining a service dog!!

We had a first lesson and go home day for Helping Hounds Dog Rescue pup, Heidi, and her new partner David. The team will begin working at home together and have training sessions with Certified Canine Services as they prepare for the Canine Good Citizens Test.

We also had an evaluation for Malea, owned by Veteran Jed who was just accepted into the program. Malea will begin her individual training next week!

Want to make a difference in the lives of local Veterans who have sacrificed so much for all of us? Visit our website at www.victory4vets.org to make a one time or recurring donation and to learn more about our organization, program and how you can get involved!
