Our staff are “out of the office” today in observance of Memorial Day, an occasion that, like many of our national holidays, is rooted in a tradition of remembrance and celebration. As we honor people who died while serving in our country’s armed forces–a history that is deeply rooted in Richmond’s heritage as a Homefront community–we also are spending time with friends and family, celebrating the (un)official start of summer…which will be significantly different for us this year. More on that coming soon.
We will leave you an invitation to check out our brand new coronavirus hotlines section in our Community Resource Directory and with one small, but hopefully highly impactful Top Picks section featuring resources for Veterans and their families.
