Our veterans had an amazing time at the Boise Roadster Show! Thank you to our volunteers that helped us see all the cool cars. It was such a perfect day to enjoy the classic vehicles. It brought back so many memories for our guys!

We had a full month of Olympic events here at the Idaho State Veterans Home Boise! Our veterans picked a country to represent as we did sport themed events! The competition was fast and furious as we competed for the Gold!

Casino Night at the Idaho State Veterans Home! It was a wild night full of fun and prizes. We send a big thank you to all the volunteers that came to help our veterans play. We couldn't have done it without you!

Our veterans enjoyed a paint pouring class taught by our long- time volunteer and local artist, Sue Elle! Their art was featured at the Art Source Gallery and we took a trip to see the display!

❤️ Valentine’s Day at the Boise Veterans Home ❤️
Thank you to the community members who dropped off Valentine cards, treats, and gift bags for our residents. Your support—and your sweet tooth donations—are always appreciated.
Our veterans enjoyed the cards, the candy, and the reminder that people still think they’re pretty great… even without having to run laps, peel potatoes, or pass inspection first. 😉
Thanks for helping make Valentine’s Day a little brighter (and definitely a little sweeter).

Love is in the air at the Idaho State Veterans Home Boise! We had our annual Sweethearts Brunch yesterday with great food and fun decor. It was a sweet success, but our couples only had eyes for each other!

✨ Thank you, Boise Bench Lions Club! ✨
Jon and I were grateful for the opportunity to visit with you and share more about the VETS - Veteran Enrichment through Sponsorship (aka Adopt‑A‑Vet) program.

Your commitment to service truly inspires us. Thank you for making our community stronger—and for your continued engagement in helping Idaho remain a place where people can live, thrive, and feel supported.
We appreciate you! 💛🦁🇺🇸

A huge thank-you to our friends at Idaho Chariots for 14 incredible years of partnership and generosity! 🚗❤️

Your annual donation helps make the Christmas season brighter for our Veterans here at the Idaho State Veterans Home. We’re so grateful for your continued support — and for the joy your members bring, both on the road and in our hearts.

Because of you we are still driving the spirit of service forward! 🇺🇸

Forget floats—Luke Cesnik’s POW/MIA Balloon was the ultimate parade upgrade: basket, flames, and one lucky Veteran riding shotgun in the warmest spot on the route. Talk about first-class service!

A beautiful act of kindness at IHOP
We took six veterans out for a meal, and when it came time to pay, the waitress let us know that another patron had already covered the entire bill—over $200, including a generous tip. When asked why, they simply said, “Thank you for your service,” and wished to remain anonymous.
Moments like these remind us of the quiet generosity and deep gratitude that exists in our community. 💙🇺🇸
