Stand Down for Homeless Veterans

Cheyenne Veteran Affairs in conjunction with the American Legion Post 6 recently held their annual Cheyenne Homeless Veterans Stand Down.

Area American Legions participated in this event as well as numerous other entities.

Homeless veterans were able to get clothing, jackets, sleeping bags, their hair cut, and dental exams and much more.

Lunch was served for the veterans free of charge. Governor Mead was present and working the serving line. "The Homeless Veterans Stand Down event is a great way to help veterans who are struggling. Sometimes a hot meal, assistance with benefits or healthcare questions, or even just a conversation can make a difference. I am happy to help and thank everyone who works so hard to organize the event. I am proud, Wyoming is proud, our country is proud of our vets - we care deeply about them." stated Governor Mead.
