AARP Wyoming is seeking volunteers to join a Veterans Advisory Council, which will inform AARP Wyoming efforts in the space of Veterans, Military and Family outreach. The Advisory Council would meet quarterly to discuss how AARP can better serve Wyoming’s veterans. To volunteer, contact Jen Baier at jbaier@aarp.org, or call 920-392-2250. AARP has a number of resources, news, features, and discounts for veterans. For more, visit: aarp.org/wyoming.
Today, AARP launched the AARP Veterans and Military Spouses Job Center, a new digital platform bringing together valuable information and resources to help Wyoming’s nearly 52,000 veterans and military spouses compete in today’s job market.
The idea behind AARP’s Veterans, Military, and Family (VMF) initiative is a simple one - find a way to connect the nation’s veterans, and the better than 5 million AARP members who have served in our nation’s armed forces with what they deserve.
Located in Dubois, Wyoming, The National Museum of Military Vehicles is home to over 450 fully restored military vehicles. Through the expansive 146,000 square foot facility, visitors experience the American side of World War II through the unique storytelling of the fully restored military vehicles. The museum in its entirety will open Memorial Day weekend with the addition of two other exhibits showcasing, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
To honor our Veterans, the AARP Sheridan Community Action Team (CAT), in partnership with the Casper Community Action Team, VFW Auxiliary, and the Sheridan Foster Grandparents Program, delivered over 260 thank you cards to Veterans in Sheridan and Johnson Counties in November.
