VRL’s latest event was hosted by New York City’s landmarked Irish pub: Donovan’s of Woodside. The award-winning restaurant and tavern opened its doors in-support of Veterans Rebuilding Life, when the owners learned that the organization was attempting to raise the cost of a memorial, to honor the first casualties in the history of the war on terror. Seen above, are VRL members; Natasha Ryder and Kevin Vargas-Colon, welcoming guests as they enter the sold-out event. The framed photo, seen in the bottom-left corner of the table, displays an image of VRL’s founding members over a decade ago, standing with the venues original owner; Mr. Jack Donovan. Stopping off at Donovan’s Pub before attending the annual Marine Corps Ball, was a New York City tradition for local Marines residing in the borough Queens.
