2020 Stand Down Event Canceled Due to Pandemic A Note from Eddie Speller about the 2020 Stand Down I hope everyone is having a nice summer and that you are all in good health. As I think about previous years, this is the time when we would be running around aggressively getting vendors, trucks, equipment and meeting with the VA to coordinate our event. Instead, like most of the country, we are at a standstill in regard to having any kind of event since crowd size in very lim...ited in most areas. Unfortunately, the event for this year has been canceled for safety reasons. This pandemic has also curtailed our ability to service our homeless veterans as we have done for the past 25 years. I am hoping 2021 will allow us to get back to what we do best. Stay safe everyone. Don’t take unnecessary chances with your health during this time. Social distance and wear a mask. Stand Down needs all of you. Until we can meet in person, stay in touch. Eddie
