Good day Hibernian Brothers. Please check out the link below for some of the pictures taken at this year’s Sweats for Vets event at the Martinsburg VA Facility. In total, over 1,500 new Sweat outfits along with 100’s of pairs of socks and “Thank you for your Service” cards were distributed here as well as at other Virginia VA Hospitals. The note below is to Thank my local neighborhood for their continued contribution to our annual effort. Please consider a project like this for next your in your local community – such a project broadens everyone’s appreciation for the sacrifices our Veterans have endured on our behalf!
Good afternoon everyone. I have included below the link for the S4V distribution on 1/24/2026 for your use. As I mentioned before, the Lansdowne Woods and Vistas of Lansdowne contributed approximately 150 new Sweat outfits to our efforts, representing a significant 10% of the total collection that was made from throughout NVA! Further, a significant amount of the $6,000 donated came from our generous community. All of the Sweat outfits and cash donations have now been distributed to Veterans at 3 locations in VA and WVA as of yesterday.
On behalf of the Veterans (of which I am not) and AOH Coordinator/Navy Veteran Dan Gillespie, I extend their sincere appreciation for your support and numerous “random acts of kindness” with this annual project, now into its 19th year.
