Holidays can be a difficult time for many Veterans, especially those who may be separated from friends & family due to distance or COVID-19, and connecting with former service members helps alleviate stress and loneliness.

Creating a new community of Veterans or reconnecting with former service members can help ward off loneliness, stress and anxiety, and provide a sense of purpose.
