As Veterans Day approaches, the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation invites you to pause and reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. Their service has shaped not only the Commonwealth we call home but the freedoms and opportunities we cherish every day.

Across Virginia, communities are preparing to celebrate our veterans through ceremonies, parades, and gatherings that remind us what it truly means to serve. For the Foundation, this season carries special meaning — it’s a time to connect with those we support, to share their stories, and to reaffirm our mission of ensuring that every Virginia veteran and family member has the resources and care they deserve.

Through your generosity, the Foundation continues to make a direct impact in the lives of veterans across the Commonwealth. Whether it’s providing emergency housing assistance, supporting mental health and wellness programs, or funding initiatives that restore hope and dignity, your support transforms lives.

This Veterans Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to thank a veteran — not just with words, but through action. Volunteer. Donate. Share their stories. Together, we can continue to honor their service not only on Veterans Day but every day of the year.
