Our Community Builder Events come in many forms with the intention to bring together Veterans from All Eras with the communities that they live in. To allow the majority of our citizens that are not aware of the cost of their freedom and the impact it has had on the lives of our Veterans and their families.
Successful Community Builder Events have been:
- Veteran Picnics
These can be at locations like VA Hospitals, City Parks, Churches and Schools.
- Operation Welcome Home events
These happen at sporting events presenting awareness to the audience and allowing everyone to acknowledge and welcome home our Veterans and their families.
- Veteran Acknowledgement Days
Offered at Veteran Service Organization facilities or City Parks.
