On Wednesday, November 13, many local veterans gathered at the Lake County Fairgrounds for VNA Hospice NWI’s annual Lake County Veteran Stand Down event.
Originally from the Vietnam War era, the phrase “veteran stand down” stems from when service men would “stand down” to address personal matters while on the line of duty. Today, that term has translated into giving back to those who have given so much for their country; it has evolved into a resource fair that equips veterans, their families, and their caregivers with a variety of tools to help navigate a successful life post service.
