The Veterans Village of San Diego hosted the 32nd Annual Veterans Stand Down at the end of June in California. This annual event is designed to connect Veterans with VA and community partner services, with a focus on homeless Veterans. Federal, state, county, and city leaders collaborate with community stakeholders to provide resources for America’s heroes in need of a hand up. More than 800 Veterans attended and received assistance.

Teams raised their guidons to kick off Monday’s events and cheered each other as they tried their hands at surfing, sailing, kayaking, archery, and cycling.

This year’s theme, “setting a positive course for the future,” exemplifies the intent of VA’s adaptive sports program – to provide opportunities for disabled Veterans to find or expand upon their abilities.
