Today felt really special.

Over 100 service providers, employers and community organizations came out to City Hall to provide Veterans easy access to supportive services. Wow!

We are so grateful for every single person who made this event possible. To service providers, organizations, community partners, volunteers, and to our staff: thank you! We truly couldn’t do any of it without you!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! And, be sure to check back in next week for more coverage on the 2019 Greater Boston Stand Down!

Meet Meryl, the sweetest Service Dog there ever was! She brightened the faces of everyone she met today!

Her and Anthony, who served in the United States Army from 1984 - 1987, were fast friends! Thank you for you service, Anthony!
