From the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA):
ABOUT STAND DOWN 2021
The Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) is pleased to announce that we are holding Veterans STAND DOWN 2021 on September 22nd, 23rd, & 24th. While the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way agencies and organizations operate, the DVA continues our commitment to serving Connecticut’s Veterans by providing this “one stop” access to a range of programs and services offered by state and federal agencies, Veterans organizations, and community based non-profits through online webinars and at five regional sites across the State. We hope this approach to Stand Down will help more Veterans across Connecticut connect with the programs and benefits they have earned.
