🇺🇸🙏🏻Today, we are honoring our favorite veteran, Ron Nowacki by supporting a nonprofit that changed his life. We miss him so much and we’re happy to support the incredible work that does for veterans.
Thru Monday, we will match donations up to $500. You can stop in the store or Venmo us at . Here’s his incredible story as told by his beautiful daughter, .collective
“Last week I received an email from my local news station that they wanted to interview me regarding my dad’s story on the Veterans Honor Flight. I was floored. Out of 100 men on that flight last spring, and the flights this past fall....they wanted my dad’s story.
I cried. His story is truly one of peace. It’s heartbreaking, yet beautiful. So my brother and I headed to the news station. 5 days later the show chased this story as if he was a local celebrity. You know what, he is now one. His story is to promote & support funding for a cause. My dad did not know it at the time, but his strength on that trip was going to inspire many.
I am so, so proud of him. I am so proud to be his daughter. He continues to live, while he is physically gone.
Veterans Honor Flight takes donations and volunteers year round. I have had so many people come up to me or reach out to me-“Your dad’s story is like my dad/grandpa.” Our Veterans deserve the world.
Let’s at least give them the trip. For my dad, it meant a welcome home he never got when he returned from Vietnam. He was also in a 6 and a half year battle with cancer. (He was also exposed to agent orange for half is tour.) I truly feel my dad found a peace or closure on that trip as it was 3 months later he passed.”
We missed you so much Ron. Thank you for being such a bright light in this world. 🇺🇸
