where I got to sit across from Veterans and their families, hear their stories, and gain insight that no report or meeting could ever capture.
nd experiences of the Veterans of Chicago.
Until then, and always—I remain, a Veteran advocate.
Over the past few years, while working for the VA. I’ve had the rare privilege of working inside nearly EVERY Ward Office across the City of Chicago.
I into the heart of our neighborhoods (77 to be exact)
Honored to be selected by a congressional member to interview service academy candidates. The dedication & passion of these young leaders was inspiring - giving me hope for the future. Unfortunately, some panelists lacked focus on the task, but the applicants’ shined through.
This past Thurs, #Vetconnect kick off! #6wardChicago@williamehall was an amazing experience! 20 Vets! Excited to be part of the movement revolutionizing outreach in Chicago for Vets. No more barriers/ bureaucracy. Every Vet deserves their entitlements. Let's make it happen!
One greatest parts of Chicago is the fact that our elected officials actually care about us Veterans! And @RaymondALopez is a strong supporter of the Veterans of Chicago! From us to you, thank you! #vetconnect#chicagovets#ChicagoHistory
Today is Election Day for Chicago, Cook County, and the state of Illinois. It's time to exercise your right to vote and make your voice heard! As Veterans, we fought for this great nation and the freedoms it represents, including the right to democratically elect our leaders.
Amazing meeting w/@aldcurtis18 and his staff from the 18th ward! The SW side of Chicago is about to SEE a great change. Veterans of the 18th ward will now have more access to benefits and entitlements than ever before. Proud day for Chicago and an even prouder day for Veterans!
Honored to assist Southside Chicago veterans today, debunking misconceptions about VA benefits. Grateful to 19th ward officials for connecting everyone with their entitled support. 2 individuals discovered eligibility they weren't aware of. Duty fulfilled. #VeteranSupport
We're not just any city; we're the best in #America, the one with broad shoulders.Thanks to some hardworking Alders we're on a mission to make sure Chicago's lakefront heroes get the support and info they deserve. Let's get the word out! 🌇🤝
Caring for our #Chicago#Veterans isn't just a duty; it's the backbone of our city's strength. The measure of a city's heart is in how it uplifts and supports its Veterans.
Let's stand united, ensuring the well-being of those who've served is our top priority. #Lakefrontheros
