Veterans Day 2020 Events

Welcome to the newsletter of Serving Together for the celebration of Veteran’s Day! Serving Together is a private, non-profit organization serving veterans, service members, and their families in the Washington DC area and uses technology and its partner network to guide veterans and their families to the most appropriate services and resources available. Beyond what we do, we wanted to focus today on delivering information to everyone about specific events related to Veteran’s Day happening in the DMV area. However, due to COVID, many events will have a different approach to how they will proceed. Thank you for letting us serve you!
