July 8 & 9 San Antonio, TX





Veterans of Valor hosted our monthly event for wounded heroes and their families at Dave and Buster's in San Antonio, Texas. The event is always at capacity making it a huge success with a turn out of well over a 110 wounded service members and families. VoV guests enjoyed dinner, deserts, and an evening of playing games. Klay addresses his guests with dedication and commitment to serve, but when game time arrives, the children compete with him as their equal. Guests of all ages have to be tracked down and pulled away from the games to catch the transportation back to base. A special thanks to Tom Reynolds and all of his volunteers that served our heroes from their heart.
