Thank you Veterans!

I work at a school and last week I overheard one of the professors saying that it was strange that school would be closed on Tuesday (Nov. 11th) rather than having the holiday on Monday (in reference to Veteran's Day). I didn't hear any comments about how wonderful it is that we can honor our Veteran's on the actual date in history, Nov. 11, formerly known as Armistice Day, as it was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on Nov. 11, 1918.

This sparked my interest in learning more so I "googled" the history of Veteran's Day and found this article on Military.com. I have attached the link-it is worth reviewing: History of Veterans Day

I want to thank all the Veterans and their families for the opportunity to live in a free country with its many privileges and many blessings. Thank you to ALL the men and women and their families who sacrifice daily to give us our freedoms. I appreciate all that you do every day and your commitment to our great country. You are in my prayers and in my heart. God Bless, Chris Thayer, volunteer

    I think that you gave a great example of how communities are unaware of the neglect of veterans throughout the nation. This is just another example of how SWVBRC can promote awareness and empower communities to support their veterans.

    I want to thank men and women who dedicate their life and spirit to this country so we have a Veterans Day. It is not easy to defend this country,in this world of turmoil. They are brave and should be honored more openly.without of them we would not have are freedom.

DOD Welcome home-small.jpg A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.

We are a national public benefit nonprofit organization that educates American Communities about best practices to serve Veterans.  We honor their service by empowering Veterans to apply their training and skills to successfully transition to productive careers and enterprises.

We provide free vocational training 24/7 to all of our members through our website, in addition to local events.  We believe the tenet that American Communities are the ultimate beneficiaries when Veterans claim their benefits and invest in productive endeavors.

The SWVBRC enlists the support of members of local Communities like you to increase Veteran awareness of the value of obtaining a VA card and receiving earned benefits.

Sponsorships, donations, volunteers and support from communities like yours enable us to reach out to Veterans and empower them to transition back into successful, productive enterprises that ultimately benefit all Americans and support future generations.
