As May is National Military Appreciation Month, AARP Virginia would like to feature our members who are also veterans. For the first week, we proudly introduce Suba Satyanarayan, who served in the United States Air Force for 25 years. In this brief interview, he recounts memorable times from his career and sends a message to those currently serving.
Scammers are on the prowl with Americans’ increased anxiety over the coronavirus pandemic. This is of particular concern as we commemorate May’s Military Appreciation Month given veterans and military families are twice as likely as civilians to be targeted by con artists.
On Sunday, April 26th, the Association for the study of African-American Life and History will host a webinar to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the African-American community.
