To the editor:
Proud American military men and women are serving and sacrificing for freedom around the world. Many veterans are coming to the Department of Veterans Affairs with specific needs and challenges that require the hearts and hands of VA volunteers.
The Syracuse Veterans Affairs Medical Center invites citizens young and old to join us in honoring our veterans and learning more about volunteer programs during the National Salute to Veteran Patients Feb. 8-14.
You can join our volunteer program or find out more during National Salute week. Our VA volunteers remind veterans every day that their sacrifices are not forgotten.
Every citizen can make a positive difference in the life of a veteran patient. Visits from community groups do much to lift the spirits of our patients. I invite every member of our community to participate in some way. Call our Voluntary Service office at 315-425-4317 to schedule a visit and learn how to jion the VA’s National Salute to Veteran Patients.
