This isn't the first time we've heard the 40 per day estimate.

To his point, veterans in isolation are at risk.

HBVETS is here to combat that very isolation.

Every time I call my prescription refill in, I hear this banger!

Range Day was exactly what it needed to be.

No agenda. No awkward networking. No one asked anyone to “share one fun fact about yourself.”

Just veterans, range time, bad jokes, a Tommy gun, an M1 Garand, and that beautiful Garand ping that deserves its own ringtone.

That’s Honor Bound Veterans: getting veterans together, rebuilding camaraderie, and combating veteran isolation and su***de by building community among U.S. military veterans.

Thanks to everyone who came out, and a big thank you to Jimmy John's Store #0705 for graciously donating a 30 box for the veterans attending Range Day.

If you missed Range Day this time, don’t worry. There will be another one.
