1/3 Our Be Connected program is a statewide partnership that eases access to support and resources for the 500,000+ plus service members, veterans and their families who call Arizona home.

[Wanda Wright @ColWrightADVS]

2/3 We want to ensure that Arizona's military and veteran community gets to the services they need early enough to prevent them from feeling isolated and having suicidal ideation.

[Wanda Wright @ColWrightADVS]

In order to truly honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans, we must identify and support initiatives that help those that served and their families in not only navigating – but also thriving – in civilian life.

Happy Birthday, Gov. @dougducey! Wishing you a blessed day!

[Wanda Wright @ColWrightADVS]

I am blessed to have met Sophie and hear about her military service. Last summer we were honored to present Sophie with Governor Ducey’s Arizona Women Veteran’s Week proclamation. @AZVETS sends our deepest condolences to her loved ones, and will always remember her legacy.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Sophie Yazzie, a World War II Veteran and member of the Navajo Nation. At the age of 105, Sophie was one of the longest living female WWII veterans. Arizona is forever grateful for her service. Our prayers are with her loved ones. #RIP

At @AZVETS, we've worked with Gilbert since he was the Marana Town Manager. From working to ensure we properly served the Vets in Southern AZ, to supporting efforts to advocate for Vets statewide, he's been a great leader & friend. We wish him all the best in his next journey!
