Today marks the 21 year anniversary of September 11, 2001, when terrorists boarded three hijacked passenger planes and carried out coordinated suicide attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing everyone on board the planes and nearly 3,000 people on the ground. A fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all on board, after passengers and crew attempted to wrest control from the hijackers.
We dedicate this day to remembering those who died and to the first responders who risked their own lives to save others.
We will Never Forget
Don’t wait. Reach out. If you or a Veteran you know needs support, get help today.

BVAHCS Women’s Health Program showered our maternity Veterans today at the ‘Mommy and Me’ shared medical appointment baby shower!
Maternity Veterans who are pregnant or just delivered were provided with a variety of baby gifts and educational information from healthcare professionals regarding breastfeeding, safe sleeping, nutrition, medications and recognition of the warning signs of pregnancy and postpartum complications.
Veteran Cherise Carlisle said, “The Mommy and me drive through shower the Birmingham VA Women’s Clinic put on today was fantastic! The information was helpful and relevant, and I hope this continues. I cannot believe they handed out pack n’ plays, diapers and wipes. All those who participated did an awesome job and I just want to say THANK YOU!”
Watch as the Birmingham VA receives a donated van from the Disabled American Veterans (DAV)! The van will be used to transport Veterans from the Childersburg VA Clinic to the Medical Center.
