Veterans Stand Down

The halls of the Arizona State Veteran Home in Flagstaff were overflowing with activity last Thursday morning as dozens of service providers welcomed more than 150 veterans from across Coconino County to the 13th annual Lance Davison Memorial High Country Stand Down.

The event is an opportunity for veterans of all ages to connect with assistance in housing, employment, healthcare and more -- and to connect or reconnect with one another, attendees noted. It takes place each year in May, which is both National Military Appreciation Month and Mental Health Awareness Month.
