VA began deploying Mobile Vet Center units the week of March 16 to expand Veteran outreach in communities affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every year Senior enlisted leaders, representing all services – active, reserve, and retired gather from all parts of the United States to attend the largest gathering of senior non-commissioned officers in America, the Great Sergeants Major Reunion.  This year it was held in Houston, Texas and more than 400 SGMs were there.
