Veterans' Fair/Stand Down: "Today, the same concept of the Stand Down refers to a grassroots, community-based intervention program designed to help the nations' homeless veterans," according to Blackburn. "This particular Stand Down will provide valuable resources for our local veterans and their families with food, clothing, medical, legal and mental health assistance, veteran benefits, job counseling and referral, housing needs, family services and other resources that may be beneficial to a veteran. Most important, companionship and camaraderie."
