As part of the VFW's Day of Service, we proudly hosted the Inaugural Stride for Hope Fun/Run & Resource Fair this weekend. This national initiative calls on VFW Posts across the country to serve their communities—and together, we answered that call with purpose and unity. 💛

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who showed up, stepped forward, and stood tall with us in support of Su***de Prevention and Mental Health Awareness.

Together with our partners at Combat 22, this was more than just a run—it was a movement rooted in healing, resilience, and hope.

🙏 A special thank you to our incredible sponsors:
HeroHut, GameDay Men'sHealth, Accenture, SkwidLids and Anchor Up 1893—your support helped turn this vision into reality.

🙌 Endless thanks to our volunteers from the United States Air Force at Joint Base San Antonio, Grace After Fire, and Accenture—your energy and service made all the difference.

Thank you to our guest speakers: Andrea Ortiz, VFW Texas State Surgeon and Timothy Jensen of Gruntstyle Foundation.

🎥 We’re also grateful to KSAT 12 for highlighting our mission and helping us reach even more hearts. Check out their coverage here:
