Crystal Lake American Legion Post 171 is sponsoring a “Vets 4 Veterans’ Families” event on Saturday 26 June 2021. The purpose of the event is to create awareness of the suicide epidemic in the community of military veterans. The event will showcase the numerous resources that are currently available to veterans that could mitigate this life threatening issue. Two equine activities organizations, BraveHearts and Veterans R and R, will be featured at the event, as equine activity has been very successful in treating PTSD and other disabilities.
Other resources that will be available include the following:
RUSH University Hospital – The Road Home Program
Veterans Path to Hope
VAC Veterans Assistance Commission McHenry County
Veteran Administration Hospitals – Lovel Federal Health Center, Hines VA Hospital, Rockford Vet Center
Local American Legion Posts, VFW Posts, Marine Corp League, and Team RWB units
Semper Fi Fund
Operation Coffee Roaster
Oscar Mike Organization
Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association
The event will include an area for children's activities such as games, Home Depot building kits, face painting, and a playground area. Families will be entertained by a music venue, Harley Davidson motorcycle display, classic and antique cars, and demonstrations from the Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association. In addition, food trucks will be available.
The event will be located at Immanuel Lutheran, 300 S Pathway Court, Crystal Lake and will run from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Please plan to bring yourself and your family out to support this outstanding event and the organizations dedicated to improving the lives of veterans.
