A huge thank you to the Catalina Foothills High School Marching Band for making the Tucson VA Medical Center a part of your Veterans Day tradition. For many years, you have shared your music, enthusiasm, and school spirit with our Veterans and staff.

Your performances do more than entertain. They lift spirits, create lasting memories, and show our Veterans that young people in our community value and appreciate their service to our Nation. We are honored to welcome you each year and are grateful for the time and effort you invest in making Veterans Day special for those we serve. Thank you for continuing this wonderful tradition.

A heartfelt thank you to American Legion Post #73 for their generous support of our Veterans event! Your donation of prize items, flags, bracelets, and other giveaways helped make the day extra special.

Thanks to the support of community partners and volunteers, Veterans were able to choose a gift of their own from a wonderful variety of donated items, enjoy refreshments, and receive handmade cards created by local school children.

We are grateful for your continued commitment to honoring and supporting our Veterans.

VA.gov just got easier, and you helped shape it.

Nearly 90,000 Veteran survey responses told us what was getting in the way. Now, with a redesigned homepage and many new upgrades, you can:

• Start from a redesigned homepage.
• Sign in with Login.gov, ID.me, or the new CLEAR or Passkey options. All four are free and optional.
• Stay signed in for months on your own device.
• Use one sign-in for your claims, health chat, and status tracker.
• Get claim updates by text, with no password needed.
• Search in your own words, typos and all.
• Track your claim from submitted to decision, with no phone call.
• Upload documents in 3 steps instead of 11.

Same VA.gov. Same account. Same benefits.

This past Saturday, our Buddy Brigade Peer Support Group teamed up with the Wounded Warrior Project for a day of connection, camaraderie, and self-care with fellow Veterans.
Together, the Wounded Warrior Project and Buddy Brigade engaged with Veterans while focusing on physical and mental well-being.

Participants had the opportunity to experience a variety of recovery and wellness modalities at Endurance Recovery Studio, including cold plunge therapy, red light therapy, compression boots, and sauna sessions.

Sometimes taking care of ourselves means slowing down, trying something new, and making time to recharge. Recovery isn't just about pushing harder. It's also about knowing when to rest, reconnect, and invest in ourselves.

Our Buddy Brigade Peer Support Group is grateful for the opportunity to build connections, strengthen our Veteran community, and remind one another that self-care is part of the mission.
