In 2018, we traveled 7600 miles and met with over 100 Veterans and Gold Stars.&nbsp; In addition to our scheduled stops, we struck up conversations and handed out free t-shirts to Veterans we ran into at gas stations, restaurants, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some of the reactions are priceless!&nbsp; Just to see the look on their faces kept us going.&nbsp; One Vietnam Veteran just kept saying &#8220;for real&#8221; over and over again.&nbsp; Sometimes all it takes is a simple act to let people know they are important to us and OUR amazing Family across this great beautiful country.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are Active Duty, Veteran, Gold Star or Blue Star and would like a visit then let us know. There is no pressure. We are not selling anything. We don&#8217;t ask for money or anything else. We offer our time to get to know you and let you know you are not alone. We care about you because you are our family regardless if we have met you or not. We can meet for coffee, lunch, dinner or a bottle of water at a gas station. Your choice.<\/p>\n<p>If you are an organization supporting Veterans then let us know. We will share your message on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/taskforcevetvisits\/\">our facebook page<\/a>&nbsp;and help you spread the word.<\/p>\n<p>We are based out of Massachusetts.
