U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Buddy Check Week set for Oct. 16-20; we’d like to arrange potential coverage of how Legion Family members will reach out to their fellow veterans.
Newest Consolidated Post Report shows continued growth of program to engage veterans, millions in local contributions, hours spent volunteering in communities.
Like The American Legion’s Buddy Check program, VA is encouraging veterans, family members and caregivers to reach out to at least 10 veterans and complete crisis intervention training during Buddy Check Week.
VA&R Director Tiffany Ellett expresses support for pending legislation, shares the Legion’s Be the One and Buddy Checks programs during congressional testimony.
