As Air Force veterans, my husband and I felt a void for veterans in Dripping Springs. We were inspired to become founding sponsors, and I’m proud to serve as an active member and Ambassador for PHDS. Patriots Hall provides invaluable assistance through a Veteran Service Officer and counseling for all veterans, regardless of branch or affiliation. Being surrounded by fellow veterans and their families has rekindled that vital sense of community in my life. Attending my first Women’s Veterans group this month was unforgettable—the camaraderie was instant, transforming strangers into sisters in arms by the time we left.

Patriots’ Hall has offered me a place to belong, close to home. As a man and as someone without school-aged children in a town largely centered around young families, finding real community can be challenging, but Patriots’ Hall gave me a consistent space to connect with others with shared backgrounds and experiences. It also gave me a way to serve. Being involved with Patriots’ Hall allows me to give back to my community in a way that aligns with my values and experience, and their facility has become a hub I can count on to be there, week after week, where meaningful conversations happen and lasting connections are made.

I proudly support Patriots’ Hall because of their strong commitment to honoring and supporting our military, Veterans, and their families. Their dedication to building a space for connection, community, and camaraderie is a powerful testament to the respect our Veterans deserve.

There’s no chain of command here - every Vet is welcome. You check your ego at the door.

Gardening and farming as been a big part of transitioning out of the military and feeling like I belong again.

The Hall isn’t just for Dripping Springs - it serves Central Texas and the surrounding communities. I’m grateful for that, and that they go above and beyond for Veterans.

I am a huge fan of Patriots’ Hall because it is designed from the ground up to support Veterans, their families, and the organizations that share their mission.
