Comrades and VFWCA Family,

Current events in the Middle East are dominating the news day after day. As the situation continues to unfold, it can be difficult to constantly hear updates and developments, particularly when they may echo experiences from your own military service.

This is a challenging time for many, but it is important to remember that we are stronger together when we support one another.

Whether you served in the Middle East or in another theater, we should take every opportunity to check in on our fellow veterans, servicemembers, and their families. Sometimes simply reaching out, listening, or sitting beside someone in solidarity can make a real difference.

I encourage each of you to check in with one another and please do not hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

Thank you for continuing to look out for one another.
