American Veterans Assistance Group Board Meeting 🇺🇸

At our monthly American Veterans Assistance Group Board Meeting, we were honored to welcome special guest Ryan Antes.

Born and raised in Long Beach, Ryan graduated from Long Beach Poly before serving our nation as an Infantryman in the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. During his military service, he attained the rank of Corporal and bravely served in combat operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Following his honorable discharge, Ryan continued his commitment to excellence by earning his degree from Cal State Long Beach and later his Juris Doctorate from Loyola Law School. Today, he operates his own law practice and remains an inspiration through his service and leadership.

The photo we are sharing features Ryan alongside our AVAG Board President, Sergeant Major Ramon Rodriguez. Both men are American heroes who answered the call to serve our country with courage, honor, and dedication. We are grateful for their sacrifices and their continued commitment to supporting Veterans and our community.

Thank you, Ryan, for joining us and sharing your experiences. It was a privilege to have you with us.

🇺🇸 Serving Those Who Served 🇺🇸

American Veterans Assistance Group AVAG, is honored to host Veterans Connect on the fourth Saturday of every month at Hope Chapel Huntington Beach. It’s always a meaningful time as veterans come together for fellowship, encouragement, and a great lunch.

This gathering was especially memorable. The veterans enjoyed receiving thoughtful gifts from children’s, giving gifts, a received decorative socks with messages like “I am a Veteran” and “Home of the Free Because of the Brave.” Their smiles said it all!

A heartfelt thank you to Marla and Wayne for helping put everything together, and to everyone who contributed delicious desserts and entrées. We’re also so grateful to Mellissa and David Breunig for generously donating the raffle prizes for today.

We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve and connect with those who have served our country. 🇺🇸

American Veterans Assistance Group AVAG want to take a moment to recognize and honor the incredible efforts of Conrad Barrera, a proud Army Veteran and Commander with the American Veterans Assistance Group at Diamond Bar Mobile Home Park. 🇺🇸

Conrad is currently participating in Steps for Vets, stepping up in a powerful way to support the mission of ending veteran homelessness across the United States. As part of his journey, he’s invited others to join him in raising awareness and standing পাশে our nation’s heroes.

This year, Conrad is taking part in the 5K run/walk in honor of three Vietnam Veterans:

• Eddie Cervantez – Served December 12, 1968 to January 30, 1968• Richard Valdez – Served December 19, 1968 to June 6, 1969• Robert Flores – Served February 17, 1967 to December 15, 1967

Through every step, Conrad is carrying their legacy forward—honoring their service, their sacrifice, and their stories.

His dedication is a reminder of what it means to continue serving even after the uniform comes off. We stand with Conrad and all those participating in this mission to ensure that no veteran is left without a place to call home.

If you’ve been invited to join him, consider stepping up. Together, we can make a difference.
