With Deep Gratitude — Thank You for Standing With Us

honor bell welcome home event

Dear Friends,

With full hearts, we extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who joined us for the Welcome Home Luncheon, presented by Horan & McConaty.

Because of you, it was more than an event. It was a moment of remembrance… A moment of connection… And a powerful expression of what it means to truly welcome our veterans home.

We gathered as a community—veterans, families, supporters, and partners—bound together by a shared commitment: to honor service, to remember sacrifice, and to ensure that no veteran is ever forgotten.

From the echo tolling of the bells… to the stories shared across generations… to the quiet, meaningful conversations in the room… the impact of the day was undeniable.

For many, it was healing. For others, it was long-overdue recognition. And for all of us, it was a reminder of the promise we carry forward—together.

To our veterans:
Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued presence in our community. It is our honor to stand beside you.

To our sponsors, partners, and donors—
because of your generosity, veterans were not only welcomed, but truly seen, honored, and remembered.

A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, Horan & McConaty, for standing beside us and helping make this powerful day possible.
We are profoundly grateful.

To our volunteers and team:
Your dedication behind the scenes made every detail possible. This mission moves forward because of you.

And to every guest who showed up with an open heart— thank you for being part of something that truly matters.

The work of the Honor Bell Foundation continues each and every day—honoring our fallen, supporting our veterans, and keeping the promise that their service will never be forgotten.

We are so grateful you are part of this mission.
