As some of you know, a few of the members of the Denver society, along with a number of very talented volunteers
have been working hard over the last six months to pull together a huge
project in support of wounded veterans. Veteran’s Passport to Hope
(VP2H) primary mission is to raise awareness about the issues today’s
veterans are facing along with raising money to support their transition
back to civilian life.
Why are we involved?
Some of us are from the Vietnam generation.
That generation of brave Americans were treated terribly upon their
return and were soon forgotten. Thank God that we are wiser today and
can separate politics from our warriors. However, as we have exited
Iraq and will soon exit Afghanistan, the American people will go on with
their lives and quickly forget about the sacrifice these brave men and
women have made. We have very short memories. It is already starting to happen. VP2H is committed to not
letting that happen.
What can you do to help? We
need you to buy a ticket (or two) to our event on 10/4. Even if you
are out of state and can’t attend, buy a ticket anyway and we will find a
veteran to fill the seat in your name (just inform us in the Comment Section to this blog). The ticket price of $78
includes food, drinks, entertainment, silent and live auctions and an
incredible key note speaker that will move all attendees as he recounts
his tragic loss of both legs to an IED and his incredible journey of
recovery.
Please check out our website to learn more and purchase tickets at www.vp2h.org.
