They’ll be sitting across the table from hundreds of cadets and midshipmen, America’s next generation of military leaders. 

John, you can make sure that table is set. 

For $35, you can sponsor one veteran’s meal. $70 covers two. $200 fills a table. Or for just $10, you can buy a veteran a beer at our Friday evening reception. 

It’s a simple but meaningful way to honor these heroes at this year’s conference. 

Moments like these shape lives, John.  

At last year’s conference, a cadet from Texas A&M called the experience of lunch with WWII heroes “truly inspirational — something I will never forget.” 

At nearly every meal, young cadets will sit side-by-side with World War II heroes, listening to stories of Normandy, Iwo Jima, and the Chosin Reservoir – thanks to you. 

At the evening reception, post-9/11 veterans will raise a glass in fellowship – thanks to you, John. 

These simple moments carry a profound message: America remembers, honors, and thanks her veterans – and inspires the next generation to follow in their footsteps. 

Please, John, make your most generous gift of $10, $35, $70, or even $200 for the 28th Annual Veterans Conference this weekend.

John, A small gift from you creates a big memory for both sides.  

When a cadet hears about D-Day directly from the man who landed there, history becomes real.  

When a Vietnam hero raises a glass at our reception this Friday, he knows he’s not forgotten. 

These small acts of generosity turn into powerful memories...meals become conversations...beers become toasts.  

And veterans realize America still remembers. 

Please, John, make your most generous gift of $10, $35, $70, or even $200 today — so that every veteran is honored with a seat, a story, and a toast in their name. 

Thanks to you, John, our heroes will not only share their stories but will know their service is still remembered and celebrated — more than 80 years after many of them first answered the call.

P.S. John, the simplest gift — a meal, a beer — can leave the deepest impression on America’s veterans.  

The conference is this weekend and now is our opportunity to honor our veterans while they are with us. Please join us in making sure they are honored with a meal and a toast.
