As we look back on 2024, we at Vets R Us, Inc. can’t help but smile at all the wonderful moments we've shared! There have been plenty of laughs, a few tears, and many heartwarming stories from the veterans and volunteers who joined us on our trips for fishing and hunting—a huge thank you to the fantastic boat captains who generously volunteered their time and support. Because of them, we could take veterans on fishing adventures many hadn't experienced in years!

Fishing isn't just about catching fish; it's also a great way to improve physical and mental well-being. As the writer Washington Irving beautifully said, angling “tends to produce a serenity of the mind.” Here’s to more memorable moments together in the future!

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors and donors for their support, which enabled us to positively impact the lives of 207 veterans in 2024. We encourage you to visit our sponsors and donors whenever possible. You can find a complete list of our sponsors/donors on our website at www.vetsrus.org.

As we enter 2025, we reflect on the lessons learned from our experiences in 2024 and remain committed to continuously improving our recreational adventures. We look forward to reconnecting with many of you we’ve met along the way and to the privilege of meeting new faces.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.

Valerie Rasmussen
President
