This is Dark Sails Czech Lager, a collaboration between Legacy Ale Works and Vets on T.A.P. Derick Marken and I got to go over to Legacy in July to brew a Vets on T.A.P. beer with Navy veteran and Legacy owner Warren Huelsnitz. We tapped it today for their Oktoberfest. It's a great beer and it's really cool (to me) to have my own beer on tap at a local brewery. If you're in Jacksonville, FL come out and give it a try!

Announcement: On August 31, Vets on T.A.P. held it's 200th networking event -- it was a great time to celebrate and reflect back on all we've accomplished as a group since starting in June of 2018. I'm proud to have created a space for veterans and their families to connect, share resources, and find employment. With that, I also made an announcement that I'll share with a wider audience now: I'm preparing to take a step back from the group and give someone (or a group of someones) a shot at leading the group. My goal is to help plan out the next year at our November planning meeting (in an advisory role), and then turn over by January. Why? Well, it's time. I've been doing this for over 6 years now. It's been a lot of fun and also a lot of work. But I'm also almost 7 years removed from my own transition. It's time for some fresh eyes and ideas. This was never meant to be a personality-driven organization -- it's not about me -- the value of the group is in the people who attend, connect, and share. The community has made this group successful and will continue to do so. Besides, I'd like to take a break and then see where else I can add value. I do still want to stay on as the President of the organization to ensure the organization still aligns with our mission, vision, and values -- a final vote, so to speak -- but, I won't be at all of the events or have a public-facing role. I'm still working out the particulars of how that will work, and we can talk about that. With that in mind, this is *not* a money-making venture -- I've done all of this as a volunteer -- whoever takes over will keep it that way. So, if you or a group of folks are interested in stepping into leading Vets on T.A.P., please reach out to me so we can talk about what that would look like. Thank you for a great run -- I could not have done it without the community! Bruce Thompson, MBA, RBLP-T | Nila (Leonila) Thompson | Jeff Robertson | Sterling Tyler | Shawn T. Lewis | Joshua A.
