1st Annual Northern Shenandoah Community Event
“Remembering & Recognizing our Men and Women in Uniform”
May 27, 2010 – 11:00AM to 2:30PM
WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA (April 26, 2010) – The Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing is having our 1st Annual Northern Shenandoah Community event to honor and to thank our men and women in uniform. The event is to bring awareness of the challenges they face each and every day for protecting our neighborhoods and our community. The event will be held at Shenandoah University, Winchester, Virginia. There will be many dignitaries on hand to “Meet & Greet” and local entertainment.
Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing: The Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing (DVCH) provides a comprehensive program aimed at providing affordable and accessible housing for disabled veterans throughout Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic States, our services are FREE to our veterans… This is an extremely important initiative as there are so many disabled veterans who qualify for VA housing and other grants, can also obtain permanent financing, among other things, but are not building new accessible homes. The DVCH we can assist veterans in their efforts to realize a dream of obtaining a new accessible home and becoming INDEPENDENT.
The Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing continues to refine and improved the organization’s veteran outreach and other programs. We feel it is our duty and obligation to serve the veterans who served our country with pride and honor but returned home with a debilitating injury and are 100% disabled service-connected. One can imagine what these veterans suffer each and every day. The DVCH is dedicated to improving the quality of their lives by helping them build or remodel their home so it meets their medical needs.
We all at the Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing are working along with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Secretary Eric Shinseki’s mandate given in 2009 to end homelessness among veterans and their families. We ask that you think about the veterans and their family’s for their sacrifices they made for our families for the safety or our Nation and our communities safety. (There are reports of over 131,000 homeless veterans in the United States).
We ask that you think about the sacrifices of our police, fire fighters, rescue personnel and all others in uniform as they all warrant our respect and gratitude for our safety.
