Santa Clara County’s first Veterans Stand Down this weekend will provide resources including medical and dental care, employment services and even haircuts.
We’ve never been shy about honoring our veterans around here, but there’s a new event this weekend at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds aimed at giving veterans more than just a salute and a round of applause.
The effort is a huge collaboration among Santa Clara County departments, led by the Office of Veterans Services, community organizations and veterans groups. Reps from California’s Veterans Affairs office and the Veterans Benefits Administration will be there, too, to help resolve claims. Second Harvest of Silicon Valley will provide the food, and the VTA has arranged to provide free rides on buses and light-rail trains from anywhere in the county headed to the fairgrounds.
