This initiative offers a dedicated Social Hour and Roundtable Discussion where veterans, their spouses, and community leaders come together to foster communication and develop proactive strategies for navigating community services.
VeternALLY speaking CommUNITY listening
Why It Matters
By opening a dialogue before the need arises, we aim to bridge the gap between veterans, their families, and available community resources. For example, understanding the process for transporting a spouse’s remains—such as coordinating a local funeral in Charlotte and arranging burial at a military cemetery in Virginia—can ease stress during an already challenging time.
What We Offer
Informative Discussions: Interactive roundtable sessions where participants can ask questions, share experiences, and learn from each other.
Printed Resources: Comprehensive guides detailing the “how-to” for navigating services, from burial arrangements to accessing benefits and coordinating logistics.
By equipping veterans and their families with this knowledge through meaningful dialogue and resource-sharing, the VETERANally-Speaking / CommUNITY program ensures they are prepared and empowered to handle life’s transitions with confidence.
