Veterans Corner Radio

On March 31, 2020, we started this program as a way to get information out to our veterans and their families during what looked like and turned out to be a very dark time. The pandemic isolated a lot of people and this program strived to help them connect and stay current on the benefits they were earned and were entitled to. We had no idea it would be so popular but with two days to go we have crossed the 9000 mark in programs listened to and downloaded.  Thank you to all who have helped us do this by sharing information with their friends, neighbors, and families. We now have a start on a website and it can be found at VeteransCornerRadio.com and although it has some useful info we can assure you it will be upgraded in the very near future and have some great search features.
