Wounded vets invited to the Annapolis event are currently at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, and the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
The Day on the Bay gets the vets out of the institutional medical routine of physical therapy and visits with doctors. It is offered to the vets and their families and friends free of charge.
The host is US Navy Sailing, made up of military vets or active duty personnel. The Vets on the Bay event is private, at the request of the vets themselves. The press and general public are not invited so that the vets can relax and have fun in comfortable surroundings.
Donations are needed to keep this pilot program alive and to extend it to other locations. Help US Navy Sailing provide a day away from worries to our best and bravest. Help US Navy Sailing show them that the United States cares and is grateful for their service and sacrifice.
