The Warsaw Military Veteran Stand Down is 4 to 7 p.m. July 23 at the Warsaw Municipal Airport, 3000 Airport Road.
Goodwill’s Veterans Resource Network (formerly Vets’ Community Connections) and its community partners have organized employment and housing opportunities, information pertaining to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, free personal care items, care kits, backpacks, a meal and more, according to a news release from Goodwill.
Stand Down is a concept that was created during war time. It was time away from the battlefield when soldiers could rest from combat and take care of personal hygiene, enjoy warm meals, receive medical and dental care and enjoy the camaraderie of battle buddies in a safe environment.
