During our nearly 10 years of operation, I have been the recipient of many heartfelt messages applauding me for my fine work in assisting our less fortunate veterans suffering food insecurity. For that, I am humbled and grateful. But, I must confess the true heroes are the Vittles’ volunteers who dedicate their time and energy, not for recognition or kudos, but solely for the improvement of our at-risk veterans’ situations.
Vittles for Vets would like to express our sincere gratitude to Nick McNeil for donating the use of the Little River Bluegrass Barn to Vittles for Vets for the “Bluegrass Concert” fundraising event, benefiting our veteran neighbors suffering food insecurity, for the 2nd year in a row.
Also, a huge SHOUT OUT to Scott Patrick for organizing this event and his outstanding Bluegrass band, Lonesome Heart, for donating their time and energy, for the 2nd year, to assist our less fortunate veterans in Southwest VA.
Finally, a fond thank you to Mr.
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourself.: Philippians 2:3-4
Vittles for Vets was honored to have been chosen as the beneficiary of such humility this past weekend as we participated in a benefit memorial motorcycle run to honor Mr. Paul “Peppy” Platt, fulfilling his final wish.
Paul, an Air Force veteran, Vittles for Vets volunteer, and member of the Augusta County Bikers, requested his “biker brothers and sisters” to honor his memory by paying tribute at selected stops along the Blue Ridge Parkway
