2015 Welcome Home Warrior Sumit @ UIC Pavilion
Oct 24 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

The 7th Welcome Home Warrior Summit is set to take place on Saturday, October 24th, 2015.
Warrior Summit Coalition, The Department of Veterans Affairs, and the City of Chicago team up to host the 7th Welcome Home Warrior Summit” at the UIC Pavilion located on the campus of The University of Illinois – Chicago (UIC).

We are honored to Welcome Home and celebrate all veterans especially those military service members who have recently returned from serving during our current combat operations such as Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) & Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Special Tribute will be honored to Wounded Warriors, and Gold Star Families in the ceremony. The Warrior Summit Coalition, The Department of Veterans Affairs, and a host of community partners are collaborating to provide 3,000 military service members, veterans and families of the Midwest Region an opportunity to connect with benefits, education, employment, housing, legal, disabilities, mental health, family & children services and faith based organizational opportunities in one central location. Over 100 organizations will be present and working together to unite the community and deliver programs and services to veterans efficiently.

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.

This one-of-a-kind event is FREE and OPEN to the veterans, military personnel, wounded warriors, gold star survivors, prisoners of war, and the GENERAL PUBLIC.
