MVAT Foundation Welcomes MOH Recipient to May Fundraiser

[Napa, CA] – The MVAT Foundation is pleased to announce that Medal of Honor (MOH) recipient, Major General Patrick Brady, USA (ret.), will attend MVAT’s 4th Annual Dinner in the Vines Fundraiser. Major General Patrick Brady is a Medal of Honor recipient and peer of Colonel Jack Jacobs (also a Medal of Honor recipient). Jack Jacobs attended last year’s MVAT Foundation Fundraiser as an open supporter of the MVAT Foundation. This year Major General Patrick Brady is expected to deliver poignant remarks about his service in the US Army and the good deeds the MVAT Foundation provides to veterans at the Fundraiser event.


While serving as a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War, Patrick Brady received the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration for valor. “MVAT is pleased to have a distinguished American such as Major General Pat Brady speaking at our Sonoma Event,” says George Wood, Board Member of the MVAT Foundation. “General Brady has done more for Veterans then most people I can think of. His 2,500 missions of helicopter piloting into combat to bring wounded soldier to safety is indicative of the kind of human being the General is.”


The MVAT Foundation’s 4th Annual Dinner in the Vines will be held at Cline Cellars in Sonoma, CA on May 14th. To learn more about this fundraising event, please visit www.MVAT.org or email 2016winedinner@mvat.org.
