VAU jump 4 purpose event: our 10th yr jumping numerous vets and gold star family members in honor of many fallen heroes. A humbling and empowering experience for all those involved.

Big thanks to Skydive Suffolk and their incredible team of tandem masters, helping us over 10 years to jump hundreds of veterans of all generations and combat injuries (Amputee, blind, paralyzed, TBI). They enjoy this once in a lifetime challenge and always leave with a full heart. Also thanks to Tyrone T., Rob A. And many other volunteers that make it possible.
