Cheers to Service: Meet the 2025 Hops for Heroes Breweries
Since 2011, Hops for Heroes has united the craft beer community with one simple mission: brew great beer and support U.S. Service Members, Veterans, and their families. In 2025, we’re honored to welcome an incredible roster of breweries across the country who are putting their hearts and hops into this effort. At the heart of the campaign is the Homefront IPA, a special beer brewed with a unique twist: real Louisville Slugger baseball bats are used during the brewing process, then auctioned off to raise additional funds for Soldiers’ Angels. These breweries don’t just make beer; they host release parties and community events that honor Service Members and Military families, often inviting local Military-connected organizations and supporters to join in the celebration. We’ve got some returning favorites, as some new breweries who have hopped on. Here’s the roster for 2025! For more information, visit HopsForHeroes.org or visit the Hops For Heroes Facebook page.

What is Yom Hazikaron? How and when do we commemorate Israel’s Memorial Day?
Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) is a day to remember fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism. On Oct. 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists killed 1,200 Israelis, injured an additional 3,000 people, and took 240 people into hostage in Gaza. Israel was the first country in modern history to make military service mandatory for both men and women. Many former IDF soldiers experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, which is a mental injury that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. In Israel, shops, restaurants and movie theaters are closed, while radio and television stations air stories about Israel’s wars and other programming that conveys the somber mood of the day.

Each day, a veteran service member is selected from the official visitors to be “U.S Armed Forces Representative of the Day’’ and participate in the ceremony in Magic Kingdom.
