How would you like to personally honor our veterans and create a lasting legacy? With the opening of our Veterans Resource Center at the Battleship IOWA, you have a unique opportunity from now until JULY 18th to include your personal inscription or create a lasting tribute to loved ones who served their country. The welcome sign for the center will be a stunning, custom-built sign that will greet veterans and visitors as they enter the space.
A major grant has allowed us to hire eight peer navigators and complete the build-out of the Veterans Resource Center four years ahead of schedule! Located in a refurbished section of the Chief Petty Officers’ berthing at the aft end of Battleship IOWA’s second deck, this new resource will serve as the headquarters for our Veterans West program, providing offices for the programs as well as a place for veterans and their families to meet.
This eye-catching sign will make the first impression on veterans, community members, and program partners when they visit the center. It’s our chance to send a message that veterans have a support network and a family at the Battleship IOWA!
