Veteran Outreach with Operation Vet NOW
Operation Vet NOW is honored to once again partner with the HCN Riders for the Annual Hog Roast & Ride, a grassroots gathering built around riding, community, and being there for our Veterans for the 5th consecutive year!
Year after year, the riders have chosen to dedicate this event to supporting Veterans and OVN’s outreach mission—especially those living in rural communities, where access to resources can be limited and connection matters most.
This year’s ride is part of OVN’s 2026 Fallen Heroes Tribute Project, and will honor the fallen heroes from Indiana County, ensuring their service and sacrifice are remembered within the communities they came from.

Even if you don’t ride, you are encouraged to join us for lunch, view the tribute displays, and be part of a day centered on remembrance, appreciation, and community.
Thank you to the HCN Riders and everyone who continues to honor the fallen and be there for our Veterans.
