Vest Up 4 The Fallen

🇺🇸❤️ Yesterday was an Incredible Day at the 3rd Annual Sweat For A Vet 5K!❤️🇺🇸

Yesterday was truly a day filled with gratitude, inspiration, and purpose.

It was an honor to be part of the 3rd Annual Sweat For A Vet 5K and have the opportunity to share the mission of Give2Those Vest Up 4 The Fallen with so many amazing people in which it was well receive.Events like these remind us that when a community comes together, incredible things can happen in support of our veterans, military families, first responders, and the families of our fallen heroes.

I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Jim, his crew and all the volunteers and to the Sons Of The American Legion Squadron 178 - Murrells Inlet, SC for not only allowing us to participate in this outstanding event but also for the unexpected honor of presenting our organization with a *$500 donation*. Your generosity and belief in our mission mean more than words can express.

The American Legion family has been a tremendous supporter of our organization throughout the years. From welcoming us during the Stride & Ride Relay, providing meals and places to camp along our journey, to helping us raise funds for Plaques of Honor and supporting countless initiatives that keep the memories of our fallen alive, you have continually stood beside us.

Your support has helped us continue our mission of ensuring that the sacrifices made by our nation's heroes are never forgotten. Every donation, every volunteer, every encouraging word, and every act of kindness helps us carry their stories forward.

As Scripture reminds us:

“Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2

Yesterday was a beautiful example of people carrying the burdens of others and standing together for a cause greater than themselves.

To everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and supported this event—thank you. Your efforts make a difference, and your commitment to honoring those who have served our nation is truly inspiring. I look forward to connecting with the people who I met, to include those from Massachusetts who would like to do more with Vest Up 4 The Fallen , as well as getting a Vest Up 4 The Fallen team to take part in this amazing event next year. 

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the Sons Of The American Legion Squadron 178 and the entire community for helping us continue this mission of remembrance, honor, and service.

🇺🇸 Together, we remember. Together, we honor. Together, we ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.🇺🇸

We thank CBS and Lev for coming out and giving this event the attention it deserves.

For so many involved, including myself, Memorial Day is far more than a holiday filled with barbecues and store sales — it is a time to honor, remember, and reflect on the sacrifices made by our nation’s fallen heroes.

CBS willingness to cover stories like ours and highlight the meaning behind our mission truly means a great deal.

Again thank you and Lev forr joining us to honor and remember our Nations Heroes
