Great gathering last night with many local veteran service organizations represented!

Great evening with the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce networking with their Defense Affairs Committee members. We had the opportunity to meet & greet with 22 different Veteran Service Organizations, and talk about our Outlaw Company and our Soldiers. We are looking forward to building these bridges within the community to improve lives and increase opportunities for our past, present and future Soldiers 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸.
