a time to honor not just our service members and veterans, but also the silent heroes: their children. In recognition of Military & Veteran Child Appreciation Month, VetConnect proudly launched our nonprofit with our very first event, "Honoring Our Little Heroes."

Too often, the sacrifices of military and Veteran children go unseen. But on Monday, April 21st, at American Legion Post 25 in El Centro, CA, their laughter and joy filled the air. From 5:30 to 7:00 PM, uncertainty turned into nothing but giggles and smiles — thanks to the unwavering support of American Legion Post 25, the Military Veteran University Development Counselor-Roman Bejarano from GCU, and the incredible dedication of our volunteers, sponsors, and affiliates.

This was more than just an event. It was a statement: that our military and Veteran families and dependents matter. VetConnect is committed to continuing this mission — empowering, advocating, and connecting veterans and their loved ones across Imperial County and beyond.

Stay tuned. We're just getting started.
