Today, John Paul joined fellow veterans at Taco Tuesday at Patriot’s Hall of Dripping Springs — a 10 acre retreat and resource hub for veterans, active military and their families to connect, grow and thrive. John Paul and Eloise were proud to help build some of these spaces for veterans and their families. After years of visiting it as a construction site, it is so good to see the whole space — the VFW meeting hall, the clinic, the obstacle course, the garden, the playscape — beautiful and in use.
For Taco Tuesday, there is self-serve tacos and coffee. John Paul shared some of his stories of his time in the Navy, and got to hear the story of a man and his Purple Heart in Vietnam. There was produce for vets to take home from the garden. We are so grateful to the Patriot’s Hall team, volunteers and vets for making this place what it is. If you’re in Central Texas and looking for a supportive veteran community, reach out to PHDS!
