STA Florida to Honor Florida Veterans Foundation at its 2016 Annual Conference

Posted by on Feb 2, 2016

Florida has approximately 1.5 million veterans spanning from WWII to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. While many of these veterans successfully transitioned to a post-military career, some face challenges to living a happy and productive life. Major issues faced by Florida veterans include access to healthcare and benefits; housing; jobs and unemployment; post-secondary education; depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); traumatic brain injury (TBI); substance abuse; and suicide prevention.

The philosophy of the Florida Veterans Foundation is to leave no veteran behind. This is only possible through the monetary contribu犀利士
tions, goods and services we receive through donations and fundraising. Thank you for your support of our nation’s heroes.
