Knowledge Sharing with Guest Speakers


As the gathering continued, four guest speakers took the stage to present various resource programs available for veterans. This informative session was structured to educate attendees on the wide range of support services tailored specifically for veterans and their families.





The speakers presented the Blue Star Mothers program, which offers assistance and support to active-duty military personnel and veterans, the M.A.S.H. program, which provides essential housing assistance for veterans at risk of homelessness, a program that supplies captioning equipment for veterans with hearing impairments, and Mr. Wayne Nabors, the Putnam County Clerk, who spoke to express support for our veteran community.


Attendees actively engaged with the speakers, asking questions about specific programs. Many expressed gratitude for the information shared, gaining insights into how to navigate the often-overwhelming world of veteran support services.
