Hello Veterans, Families, & Friends;
I hope this email finds everyone well. As we get ready to celebrate 250 years of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; let us not forget the true cost of our endeavor to remain the freest nation on this planet. As we celebrate our nations birth this weekend, no matter our similarities or differences with our neighbors, please reflect on how we as a nation got here. How different our lives could be had we been born elsewhere, or failed to take a stand against tyranny, and what the cost of taking that stand was. It is through the sacrifices of those that wore the uniform and families that stood by their sides that has preserved the values we will all celebrate this weekend. Never forget! Enjoy the holiday with families and friends, but reflect on the history of our nation and know we are unique and we are the best example of freedom that exists in the world today no matter what our personal opinions are. Also, remember to partake safely, we need each and every one of you to continue our endeavor to help our brothers and sisters Reassess, Reconnect, and Reintegrate with us.
Attached please find our calendar of free events for August 2026 and share with any Veterans you know so we can continue to grow our family and show up for each other as we all strive to be the best versions of ourselves. Thank you for your service, sacrifices and continued support bringing Veterans and Families together. We .ook forward to seeing you our and about.
As a reminder, we plan our events with a maximum capacity number for each one, with an open,"request a seat" window for them on our calendar. Once the window closes, typically seven days prior to the event, we then go through the prioritization criteria and send out the confirmation emails, or wait list emails if we are over our maximum planned capacity. Our goal is to ensure everyone has a chance to go to the scheduled activity they want to attend, however please understand that our programs, events, and activities are not first come first serve. We prioritize attendance based off the following list (in order);
1: Livingston County Veterans, first time participants
2: Livingston County Veterans, no matter how many events participated in.
3: Any County Veterans, first time participants
4: Any County Veterans, no matter how many events participated in.
The NYS Dwyer Coalition website has information about what the Dwyer Program is, our mission, and more importantly, an interactive NY State Map with click-able counties linked to the organization running the Dwyer Program in that county, https://josephpdwyerpeerproject.org/dwyer-counties. It is a one stop shop for all of NYS Dwyer Programs, be aware that New York State funds all 62 counties to facilitate a PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Program. If you do not see information linked in your County, please reach out to your County Veteran Services Agency or Office of Mental Health and inquire. They should know how the program is being executed in your county. Again, this is our (all Veterans) program, if you are looking for specific information, your counties elected officials, Office of Mental Health or Veteran Service Agencies should be able to steer you in the right direction to find your local Dwyer Program and link you up with the services, programs, events, or activities being provided in your area for all Veterans.
