Announcement
5 FEB 2026
On behalf of the Executive Board of Directors, it is an absolute honor to officially patch you in @"I dont miss" Eddie to the Veterans of the Leaf.
We don’t just consider this a club; it’s a sanctuary for those who have served, those that support those that served, and those who understand that the finest moments in life are often measured by the length of a slow burning cigar and the depth of a good conversation.
We know that for you, it’s about more than just the cigars—it’s about the brotherhood, the shared history, and the unique camaraderie that only exists among those who have walked the path. Your presence strengthens our ranks and adds another layer to the stories we share.
Eddie, pull up that recliner with the “worlds best” dad blanket, cut your favorite cigar, and spark it up. You’re home now.
Welcome!
Leader of
The Year
Award
15 JAN 2026
To honor this standard, the 2025 and 2026 leadership teams have established a new tradition:
The VOTL Leader of the Year award.
This honor recognizes an individual who does not simply fulfill their duties, but expands the very definition of what it means to be a leader and a "Brother of the Leaf." We are proud to announce that the inaugural recipient is:
Joey Hudson
Joey has served as a true "leader of leaders," consistently demonstrating excellence in the following areas:
* Visionary Stewardship: Identifying long-term goals that ensure the club remains a sustainable, positive force for veterans.
* Operational Excellence: Managing the vital "behind-the-scenes" work—from Discord oversight and financial auditing to social media—that allows our brotherhood to thrive.
* Legacy Building: Establishing new traditions like VOTL Trading Cards and "Christmas in July" that will define the club for years to come.
* Membership Support: Providing personal financial support to help members attend events and offering a compassionate ear to brothers navigating life’s challenges.
Please join us in congratulating Joey and thanking him for his tireless dedication to this brotherhood.
Member of the Year '25
7 JAN 2026
The Leadership team, supported by the Founders, have unanimously agreed that Jason Phillips has been named Member of the Year for 2025, and the recognition is well deserved. Jason’s level of engagement with the club is second to none. He regularly posts videos on Discord, sends personal video messages to individual members, and shares the occasional meme on Instagram. These aren’t just for fun—they’re genuine wellness checks. Jason truly cares about the people in this club and actively seeks meaningful, two-way engagement with everyone he connects with.
Jason has come a long way during his time in the club, growing by leaps and bounds both as a man and as a member. He clearly understands the value of what this club offers and embodies the principle that you get out of it what you put into it. His commitment, consistency, and care make him a standout example of what this community is all about.
Memorial Day 2026
Every year, we as a club get together on Memorial Day to remember those we have lost and have died in service to our country. For this year, we will be in Las Vegas a month earlier to celebrate a members one year wedding anniversary.
Veterans Day 2026
Our Veterans Day event is something we move to different locations around the U.S. every year. By doing this, we get to experience different lounges and allow our members to share the costs of travel. This year we will be in Tampa, Florida.
