A weekend in the life

It was a weekend of fun while Operation Homefront Hampton Roads volunteers and staff spent time with Patriots and Veterans at the VA Beach Bike Classic...An annual event, the weekend was filled with activities, vendors, concerts and a wonderful opportunity to hear stories from many of our service veterans. It was refreshing to feel the patriotic theme throughout the weekends activities and the opportunity to share what Operation Homefront does for our service members. The most prevalent comment we heard over and over was "we wish Operation Homefront had been around when we were in the service." Well, we're here now and we provide services and activities which support the emergency and morale needs of our troops, the families they leave behind and wounded warriors when they return home. If you'd like to find out how you can help our military members and their families left behind, please visit our website at www.operationhomefront.net/hamptonroads .
