National Buddy Check Week – Talk to 10!

As part of the STRONG Veterans Act of 2022, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting an inaugural Buddy Check Week October 16 – 20, 2023. During Buddy Check Week, we invite all Veterans to complete peer wellness, resiliency, and VA S.A.V.E. training with a pledge to contact or Talk to 10 Veterans. Our goal is to support peer networking, increase access to Veteran resources, improve mental health, promote suicide prevention, and build connections. VA and partners will provide training tools, resources, and other forums to ask questions and share stories about Veterans connecting with peers and battle buddies.

Today is the 20-year anniversary of the Iraq War. A day of reflection and remembrance of the war that started on March 20th, 2003.

Many Iraq War veterans commemorate this date by remembering those years and all who sacrificed and served our nation in the Iraq War as we hope that the Iraqi people have peace and freedom in their land.
