Review for Operation Stand Down Tennessee, Nashville, TN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It's difficult to find words that would truly reflect the impact that OSDN has had on the Volunteers and the witnessing of lives changed by the Veterans who came to the annual event. I Volunteered as a Nurse for OSDN last year and it was an experience I will not forget. To be in the presence of so many Veterans was an honor. Col. Bill Burleigh is a man of excellent character and he has accomplished what some may think impossible. He and his crew are dedicated to helping Veterans and deserve the highest level of respect. I remember one gentleman standing in the hallway saying in the hallway "Thank you...I don't believe this, thank you." he wasn't talking to anyone in particular but you could tell he received something that took years of hardship off his face. I'm ready to do this anytime when called upon and remain a supporter of this organization's honorable work.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Showing Veterans that America remembers, supports, and honors them.

They carry food to other Veterans in need, help raise funds for two other organizations (VVA Ch 953 & AM Vets Post 1776, help Veterans with obtaining benefits their entitled to, help Veterans in need get resources they need, and so much more. These guys never stop. They are helping Veterans everyday and never turn their back on anyone in need- they find someway to help.
