Every day, it seems like a bold, new statement or directive is released to Americans regarding how we can protect each other For more than a century, we’ve been serving veterans, military, and their families. We’re definitely in unfamiliar territory right now regarding the edicts to isolate ourselves from others.

People need us. Our older veterans and members, and those who fall under the at-risk categories as listed by the Centers for Disease Control need us. But just because we’re staying at home, it doesn’t mean we can’t reach out to one another. You can always call, text, FaceTime, whatever it takes. The point is, we need to make sure those we serve are OK, and that our fellow members are too.
