Veteran Buddy Checks

Join us online for the first-ever Veteran Buddy Check Summit October 22, 2024, 9:00 to 11:15 a.m. ET.

Veteran Buddy Checks encourage Veterans to connect or reconnect with their Veteran friends–just to check in. As part of the effort, Veteran Buddy Check Week, which takes place October 21 – 25, 2024, builds on the success of the American Legion’s Buddy Check program and the Veteran Wellness Alliance’s Get Involved program.

Found out he was a raging right-winger (although that wasn’t a surprise), and a creep with a taste for women young enough to be his granddaughters.

I un-friended him pretty quickly.

I emailed three vets “near” me, so that’s like 50 miles.

Good to hear that they’re doing OK.
