Honoring Service: Record Turnout for 21st Annual Veterans Day Celebration at Dodona Manor

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Dodona Manor on Tuesday to honor the courage, sacrifice and service of our military veterans — especially those who call Loudoun County home.

With more than 250 attendees, this year’s 21st Annual Veterans Day Celebration – which we were proud to cohost with the Town of Leesburg and Loudoun County – was our largest yet!

Check out these great photos from a day filled with community spirit, remembrance, and gratitude.

The continued success of this community event is made possible only through the generous support of our sponsors, including Monoc, EIT 2.0, Bank of Clarke, 155 Strategies, Dr. Edgar Hatrick III, Fortinet Federal, McCandlish Lillard, Presidential Bank, AUSA George Washington Chapter, Loudoun County Public Library, and FOCI Leadership Forum.

We extend our deep gratitude to Blake Hall of ID.ME for delivering a powerful keynote address, which included a message on the enduring power of General Marshall’s commitment to service: “America is a light in the world to all people, yet defending our way of life requires hard work, selflessness and sacrifice; all the qualities that General Marshall embodied.”

Once again, a portion of the proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Boulder Crest Foundation, a Virginia-based nonprofit delivering transformative Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) programs to veterans, active-duty military and first responders.

Thank you for helping us honor those who serve — and for making this year’s celebration our most successful – until next year’s!
