Pvt Charles J Shutt Detachment VAVS

When tractor-trailers arrived at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on Saturday laden with 10,000 holiday green wreaths with red bows to decorate veterans’ graves, they were greeted by some of the 3,000 people who volunteered to place the wreaths.

The Shutt VAVS recently donated $200.00 to the Huntington house in Boston in support of the activities and programs for the Veterans residing there.

The Shutt Detachment provides a $100.00 cash donation in the support of the upcoming Winter games for disabled Veterans.

In a new plan to help veterans find jobs,
the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has partnered with Monster
Government Solutions, a division of Monster Worldwide, Inc., a company
that markets online employment services to employers and job seekers.

The 28th National Veterans Wheelchair
Games, scheduled to take place July 25-29 in Omaha, Neb., will attract
more than 500 veterans with disabilities. It has become the largest
annual wheelchair sports competition in the world. Veterans from
conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq will again join their fellow veterans
in 17 competitive events.

Homeless veterans and those who help them
received a significant boost in their efforts when the U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) made 55 new awards to public and private
nonprofit organizations that assist homeless veterans.

"It's important that VA continue to help our nation's homeless veterans,
many of whom are still dealing with the effects of past conflicts," said
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake. "These awards provide
needed resources to hard working, caring and compassionate people who
provide one-on-one care and services to our veterans every day in their
own communities."
