VALOR for Our Veterans
/
VALOR board members received a proclamation
A message from the VALOR Employee Resource Group
This Veterans Day, VALOR wants to express gratitude to the brave men and women who served our country. Along with their families, they sacrificed, showed patriotism, and a willingness to protect our freedoms. Here at the County, more than 1,000 employees are veterans and each of them deserves recognition.
A growing list of veteran employees have shared their stories. Send one a thank you.
Several activities are planned through the end of the year. VALOR will be holding a holiday mixer on Dec. 1 at the LaFayette Hotel. Additionally, the veterans’ ERG will be participating in Wreaths Across America at Miramar National Cemetery.
Wreaths Across America is an annual wreath-laying event that takes place at hundreds of locations across the U.S., at sea and abroad on Dec. 16. The event is an opportunity to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and their families, and teach future generations about the value of freedom. Please consider sponsoring a wreath now.
The County Administration Center will be lit green this month for Honoring Operation Green Light for Veterans, a program that seeks to empower and connect counties and soon-to-be new veterans and their families through a coordinated and cohesive transition process.
VALOR is open to all County employees. Membership is free and donations are appreciated. Funding is used for the ERG and scholarship programs. If you are interested in joining VALOR or serving as a board member, email valor@sdcounty.ca.gov.
