Health & Wellness Update – May 1, 2019

May 1, 2019

Health and Wellness Wednesday – Big thanks to Umbertos Pizzaria for once again treating our veterans to a wonderful lunch. Our partners at Serenity Stables From Combat To Calm conducted an equine therapy session at ForeLuck Farm. This group was comprised of veterans from the Army, Navy and Marines with experience spanning from the Cold War to Post 9/11 Service.

Mark Otto, Executive Director, United War Veterans Council


The mission of the United War Veterans Council is to honor and serve America’s veterans.

We are dedicated to ensuring that the public always embraces its commitment to provide all veterans and their families with the care, recognition and opportunities they have rightfully earned.

We work to achieve this goal by:

  • Supporting and promoting a wide range of initiatives that provide vital services to our veterans community (including health & wellness and legacy & education programs).
  • Raising positive awareness and increase understanding of the needs of our veterans, military service members and their families through major public events and promotional activities, including the New York City Veterans Day Parade, the largest event of its kind in the nation.
  • Uniting veterans groups, community organizations, city, state and federal agencies, local businesses, major corporations and the general public behind efforts to serve veterans of all eras.

We invite you to learn more about how we help veterans and to get involved in supporting our work!
