Our honored veterans were moved by all of the lovely letters they received from the community. We collected almost 3,000 letters, allowing us to gift over 20 letters to each veteran. Thank you, letter writers!

Last Friday we hosted our 5th annual Mission to Honor Veterans event where we honored 88 local veterans, including three who served in World War II. What a joy it is to be able to spend the day sharing our gratitude with our honored guests, hosting them to a day of patriotic festivities.
Now, to take a week or two to rest so we can start planning for our 2026 Mission to Honor Veterans event!

Do you know a veteran we can honor?

We just have a few spots left for the Mission to Honor Veterans event THIS FRIDAY. Once they're gone, they're GONE so don’t miss the chance to attend!

Mission to Honor Veterans is a free, one day event that creates a memorable experience designed to bring the spirit of Washington, D.C.’s national war memorials right here to the foothills, allowing veterans who cannot travel to the nation’s capital the opportunity to feel honored in a deeply personal way. The Mission to Honor Veterans program is unique because it provides more than just a tribute - it provides an experience. Veterans are treated to a “virtual tour” that recreates a journey through the memorials and monuments of Washington, D.C. While many veterans dream of visiting the National World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, or the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in person, age, health, or distance can sometimes make such a trip impossible. This event bridges that gap, creating an immersive and moving alternative that ensures no veteran feels left behind.

We would love you or any veterans you know to apply! Space is limited and applications are now being accepted. Please note that attendance is not guaranteed and priority is given to local, advanced age and frail veterans who have not previously attended, ensuring that as many area veterans as possible are able to experience the program. Interested veterans or their family members can get more information and submit an application through the Mission to Honor Veterans website at https://missiontohonorveterans.com/
