On Sunday, August 2nd, we welcomed the Widows Sons Motorcycle Riders Association for their annual visit. Since 2009, their Vet Ride—organized by members of the Pulaski Lodge in Wells River—has provided generous support for Veterans at the White River Junction VA Medical Center. What started with 25 riders and $1,200 in donations has grown tremendously: in 2026, eighty bikers arrived after raising $150,000. Their contributions have funded writing workshops, educational materials for our women’s clinic, clothing for Veterans in need, gardening supplies, homeless program support, and recreational therapy for hundreds of disabled Veterans. We truly appreciate the ongoing support and friendship of the Widows Sons, no matter the amount raised or the number of riders each year. They have been steadfast supporters of our mission to serve Veterans and this past Sunday, we were pleased to thank them with a special appreciation cookout.
