Congratulations to Operation: Veteran Connect Graduates

Operation: Veteran Connect volunteers pose together after completing four years of service supporting veterans across Tampa Bay.

Dedicated volunteers are making a lasting difference for veterans across Tampa Bay through compassion, service, and commitment. Seniors in Service proudly recognized ten Operation: Veteran Connect members for completing four years of impactful service supporting veterans in the community. Their milestone was celebrated alongside a meaningful 9/11 Day of Remembrance Service Project, where volunteers came together to help restore and beautify a space dedicated to supporting Tampa Bay first responders.

Mission accomplished! We proudly honor and recognize the achievements of ten of our most committed Operation: Veteran Connect members, who have dedicated four years of service in assisting Veterans throughout Tampa Bay. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of them for their invaluable contributions towards enhancing the quality of life for those who have selflessly served our nation.
