Veterans and their families are invited to join us for FREE raffles, food, sporting event tickets, informational booths, family friendly activities, and a great celebration of their dedication and service to our country. We are committed to helping make each service member’s transition from active military status be as seamless as possible. However, the Welcome Home Warrior Summit also provides a wonderful networking experience for employers and veteran support organizations which improves business to business relations, enhances quality support programs and services, and in turn helps thousands of veterans and their families.
