Veterans at the Big A!

What an honor and privilege it was to spend an afternoon at Angel Stadium with veterans and their families!

Last week, the Los Angeles Angels rolled out the red carpet for nearly 100 veterans and their families, giving them a VIP experience at the Big A. From stepping onto the field and taking batting practice to enjoying Raising Cane’s and getting to know fellow veterans, it was an afternoon filled with fun, connection and plenty of memories.

“To just be here is an honor,” USMC veteran Ben Monroy said. “It’s a cool privilege.”

Veterans and their families also received swag and other gifts throughout the afternoon, making for a full experience. For many, it was a chance to spend quality time with family while connecting with others who have served.

We’re grateful to the Angels for opening up the stadium and giving our veterans a day to remember. ❤️

Some of the views and sounds of Cypress College’s 5th Annual Walk of Hope.

We were ecstatic about being given an opportunity to speak with many student veterans, to tell them about the myriads of services we offer, and how to connect with us. Thank you to Cypress College for having us out and for putting together such a great event.

As Su***de Awareness Month draws to a close, it is important to remember the small things we can do for one another. The kinds of things that seem mundane but can make the world of difference to someone in need. All it takes is one phone call, one text, or simply asking how someone is doing.

It could save a life.

U.S.VETS Orange County had the privilege and honor to join Cypress College 5th Annual Walk of Hope.

A wall of sticky notes with words of affirmation, canopies lining the sidewalks of Cypress College’s quad, live music and food were all features of a day meant to bring awareness to one of the biggest struggles veterans face: mental health.

Talking saves lives. Discussions like this saves lives.

Helping lead the discussion around Su***de Prevention, + Executive Director Robert Stohr partnered up with American Foundation for Su***de Prevention Program Manager Andrea Guzman to talk about the Su***de Prevention at the West LA VA.

Those who attended learned about the impact of su***de on the veteran population, identifying contributors to veteran su***de and protective factors. They spoke about how to recognize su***de warning signs and so much more.

This month is Su***de Prevention month and here at U.S.VETS we can offer support, services, or simply be there to listen.
