Buddy Check Week
Buddy Check Week is a reminder to reach out, reconnect, and check in with the Veterans in your life.
Whether you’re a fellow Veteran, friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor, a simple phone call or conversation can be a meaningful way to show someone they’re not forgotten.
Take a moment this week to make the call, start the conversation, and let a Veteran know you’re there.
