Veterans Laughs Matter
"Veterans Laughs Matter" is a project created to support, veterans through comedy and much-needed connection. COVID 19 has been hard on us on a global scale and lives have been destabilized in one way or another; but, for the military, it's impacted their lives in ways that only fellow veterans can truly understand and appreciate. This even brings together a collection of comedians to bring the laughter, community, and connection, our frontline deserves. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Army Reserves, National Guard, and all those around the world who keep our freedoms safe and secure, we're giving honor to them, in this event, as the comedians give their best to support our best.
