The annual Veterans Stand Down program in Connecticut has changed a bit this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.  Online presentations and regional resource access sites have been added.  State Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Tom Saadi says the two-day outreach event this week will for the first time be held statewide AND locally to support veterans.  The official event starts tomorrow morning at the DVA Rocky Hill Campus and will be broadcasted on social media. Staff will be in Danbury, Bridgeport, Norwich and Rocky Hill on Friday to provide benefits information, pro-bono legal services, free flu shots and free COVID-19 testing. Only a certain number of individuals will be allowed to enter at certain scheduled times due to social distancing restrictions. The Danbury services are offered at the Patrick Waldron Veterans Hall on Memorial Drive, registration is required. Virtual information sessions on housing, employment, education, veteran caregiver support and more will follow.
