To those organizing and hosting events and gatherings this weekend - thank you. You are creating meaningful opportunities for guilt to evolve into gratitude. Heroes have died on our behalf and our lives are their legacy. We keep what we loved most about them very much alive in us. We are charged with helping them live on through remembrance, through our pursuits of happiness, by continuing to fight the war inside, and by remaining united through divisive times. These three days are ours to make memorable - and remember, the most effective means to keep folks informed and engaged in Memorial Day's meaning is education, not shame. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ~Sarah Lee, Founder

There are zero salaries at Waypoint Vets, and every penny will go directly toward our eight remaining 2026 therapeutic experiences. With a staggering current waiting list of over 525 veterans waiting for their very first trip with us, this will make a dent in the need for our unique programming. ๐–๐ž ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐›๐ž๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐š๐ ๐ž๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค immediately!!

YOU are the roots of our organization, and we're adamant about doing right by your support in every financial and planning decision that is made.

It is a privilege to get to tell the veterans that come to us just how many of their fellow Americans care SO DEEPLY about their journey of healing. This is heavy work that we do - thank you for helping carry Waypoint Vets into it's next chapters! ๐Ÿ™
