HOW CAN YOU HELP?
SIGN UP VETERANS!
- 85 veterans & guardians on each trip
- Consider being the guardian for the veteran you are helping to sign up. Often a family member will be guardian, but evaluate the situation and if a medical professional would best meet the veteran’s needs then discuss that scenario.
- Signing up WWII veteran applicants is our greatest need.

- Veteran Outreach – encourage & assist Veterans you know in applying
