More than 600 veterans helped at this year's U.S. Vets 'Veterans Stand Down'
Over the last few weeks, Channel 13 has been helping local heroes who've served our country — especially those who don't have a place to call home — through our 13 Connects "Stand Up for Veterans" campaign.
The campaign benefits U.S. Vets Las Vegas, helping them continue their mission to better the lives of local veterans through helping them find meals, jobs, housing and other services.
One of the biggest days of service for U.S. Vets every year comes at their "Veterans Stand Down," which connects hundreds of vets with resources and services all in one place.
Their 18th annual Stand Down was held Wednesday at the World Market Center, which was packed to the brim with more than 200 providers helping more than 600 veterans through all aspects of life — from the State of Nevada, to the VA, to potential employers, to housing, haircuts, clothing and food.
