Welcome Home

Rockport For Veterans Vacation Home is a new fully furnished three bedroom home available for short-term vacation stays.  Use of this home is provided free-of-charge for persons who honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. 

Those currently on active duty or other military status as well as those who separated from the military are eligible. 

 


This new, 3-bedroom furnished home in Whistler's Cove is available Memorial Day through Labor Day to qualified veterans and their families for short-term stay. This effort is made possible due to the generosity of caring and patriotic people who want to do something to recognize the service and sacrifice of America's young war veterans, many of whom are receiving care and/or recovering from their injuries in South Texas and elsewhere within reach of Rockport.

 

Intended as a respite to veterans and their families, Rockport For Veterans Vacation Home is provided in recognition of all veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. We celebrate your safe return from Iraq and Afghanistan and your reunion with your family while recognizing and remembering the ultimate sacrifice of the fallen.


Rockport For Veterans Vacation Home is dedicated to honor the sacrifice of two warriors: 

Carl Thomas, US Army Infantry, killed in action in Iraq Erik Kristensen, US Navy SEALS, killed in action in Afghanistan.
