Dear , 

As we welcome December and the holiday season, we look back on November with hearts full of gratitude. It was a month of connection, remembrance, and community. We had the privilege of gathering with many of you at local events, sharing stories over pints, marching alongside veterans, and coming together to honor those who served. Each conversation, each shared moment, reminds us why this work matters so deeply.

We're excited to share some highlights from the month, including a meaningful new partnership that honors three UDT-10 service members who remain missing. Thank you for being part of this community and for standing with us as we work to bring our MIAs home.

Introducing the HELLION-BAKU Collaboration Watch

At the end of November, we announced an exciting collaboration with MKII Watches. The Hellion-BAKU is a tribute to three missing service members: Black, MacMahon, and Roeder, from the landmark Underwater Demolition Team-10, a combined OSS/UDT team.

During a trailblazing submarine-borne Special Reconnaissance Mission in August 1944, these three members of UDT-10 were captured and likely executed in the Palauan Islands. They remain MIA to this day, and Project Recover continues our efforts to repatriate them.

Series 1 of the Hellion-BAKU will be available as a limited run of 200 units, with a portion of the proceeds donated to Project Recover. 

Community Connections 

Central Oregon: 

This November, we strengthened our community presence across Central Oregon through several meaningful local events. We were honored to host two Pint Nights alongside local breweries, bringing together supporters over good conversation and shared purpose. These gatherings allowed us to connect with community members who share our commitment to bringing our MIAs home.

We were also proud to participate in the Bend, OR Veterans Day Parade, standing alongside fellow veterans and community members to honor those who have served and to remember those still missing.

Florida: 

In Florida, our ambassador participated in Veterans Day celebrations in Pensacola, representing Project Recover and sharing our mission with the local community.

Virgina:  

In Virginia, we hosted a showing of Path to Heaven at Longwood University, where our team connected with students and alumni. It was an inspiring evening of education and engagement with the next generation of supporters.

Washington State: 

We were proud to march in the Auburn Veterans Day Parade and connect with the community at the Museum of Flight, where we tabled on Veterans Day to share our mission with visitors.

We also hosted a special screening of To What Remains, sharing the powerful story of our mission with a dedicated audience. The film sparked meaningful conversations about the importance of repatriation and honoring America's promise to never forget our missing heroes.

Our Veterans Day Fun Run, organized in partnership with All Things Fun Sports, brought the community together for a successful event that celebrated our veterans while supporting Project Recover's mission. Thank you to everyone who participated and to All Things Fun Sports for their partnership.
