Service Before Self Podcast Season 2 Coming Soon

February 5, 2022

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. March 29th was established as a day to recognize the sacrifice of those who fought in Southeast Asia. There are 610,000 living veterans out of the 2.7 million who served in Vietnam.

Our nation owes an eternal debt of gratitude for their sacrifice and that of their families. Today’s veterans can talk about their combat experiences in large part because our Vietnam veterans could not or would not. Much of our battlefield knowledge and effectiveness can be attributed to what we learned from our Vietnam veterans. Thankfully, our nation has learned how to separate the warrior from the wars because of the way this generation of veterans dealt with the adversity of coming home from combat. Today and every day, at Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services, we work to honor their service and vow to double-down on our efforts to include this generation of veterans and their families. With your help we have been able to make the lives of all generations of veterans better.

Our Approaching 10th Anniversary

February 5, 2022

This July 13th we will celebrate our 10^th Anniversary.

Leading up to this auspicious milestone we will be sharing our favorite moments, recognizing our partners, and highlighting our achievements.

To kick off the celebration, watch for the launch of our new and improved website designed and coordinated by our Program and Administration Manager, Sara Heidenheimer.

This is an exciting time for Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services. It is the opportunity to double-down on our noble purpose: to make the lives of our veterans and their families better. This is the chance to build upon the success across our 3 pillars, 13 programs, and 356 projects over the past 10 years.

We will use this celebration to recommit ourselves to our mission to ensure our veterans and military families can succeed where they live and that every organization, across all sectors of society, effectively integrate veterans and their families into their organization and existing programs.

With our donors, partners, supporters, and most of all our veterans and their families, we will be celebrating. That said, we recognize that we have so much more to do.

Here’s to many more years of service and commitment. Cheers.
