We had a special breakfast this morning with our Veteran seniors at Fellowship Square Historic Mesa in Arizona.
Men and women came together over shared stories and experiences, finding laughter and joy in even the simplest moments. It was a great example of the bonds that unite us and the strength found in connection.
We greatly appreciate Navy Commander (Retired) Dr. Carl Forkner from the AZ DAV East Valley Chapter 8 for providing an informative update on VA pension benefits, survivors’ benefits, and presumptive illnesses related to VA claims. As a reminder, we encourage all Veterans to never pay for VA claim support, please reach out to DAV for FREE, trusted assistance.
Special thanks to Kathy Highland and the Fellowship Square team for creating a welcoming space for our Veterans to connect over a meal. We’re also grateful to our dedicated volunteers for helping our Veteran seniors feel seen, heard, and remembered.
