Placer County Veterans Services Office

Our Placer County Senior Veterans Services Elibility Specialist was eager to attend this summit (on her work from home day nonetheless), and we are excited to hear what she learned and how we can better engage our tribal communitys’ veterans! #servingthosewhoserved #wherewehonorveterans

Looking forward to it!

💛 This Sunday, September 28, Placer County will honor Gold Star Families Remembrance Day, a special day to recognize the sacrifice and courage of families who have lost a loved one serving our country. At this week’s Board meeting, VSO Steve Johnson shared his personal connection to the day, along with the words of a local Gold Star mother. Join us this Sunday in remembering their loved ones, reflecting on their sacrifice and supporting the families who continue to serve our communities.

⭐ Gold Star Families are the immediate family members of United States Armed Forces service members who have died in the line of duty, a designation formally recognized by Congress in 1947 through the authorization of the Gold Star Lapel Button (10 U.S.C. § 1126), signifying the nation's commitment to remember and honor the sacrifice of their loved ones. 📜 Proclaiming the last Sunday of September as “Gold Star Families Remembrance Day” encourages all residents to honor and support the families of our fallen service members. 🗣️ Citizens may submit their comments in written form either by following the link: https://lnkd.in/gYu-MJVn, emailing comments to the Clerk of the Board at BoardClerk@placer.ca.gov or mailing comments through the U.S. Postal Service to the County, Attn: Clerk of the Board, 175 Fulweiler Avenue, Auburn, CA 95603. 🖥️ A live video feed of the meeting may be available online at https://lnkd.in/gcJtv_Ba. Closed captioning is available.

Today, we honor the brave prisoners of war and those missing in action. Their courage will never be forgotten. Let’s take a moment to reflect, remember, and honor those who gave so much in the name of freedom. #POWMIARecognitionDay #NeverForgotten #MilitaryHeroes #POWMIA #FreedomisNotFree #USArmedForces #WeRemember #WhereWeHonorVeterans
