To All My Fellow Veterans,
We have come to that special time of year where we reflect on having worn the uniform in defense and support of our great nation. While many of us may have had different reasons for signing the dotted line, one commonality between us regardless of the branch to which we were assigned is this: service. The privilege that we all had is something that few have chosen to do; and I believe most of us would argue that we are all the better because of it.
Many of you have heard me say at our monthly meetings that it is my favorite time of month because I get to spend time with all of you. The honor of being able to spend a little time with those that "wrote the blank check, up to and including one's own life" on behalf of their nation is truly distinct, and carries a little extra weight for me every November. I thank each and every one of you for your contributions to our nation, and I am so grateful to be among your ranks!
Happy Veterans Day!
Yours in Service,
Adam Naryka
President - Eagle Group of Minnesota Veterans

Sign up for next week's Battle Buddies Meeting
ATTENTION - THIS WILL BE THE SECOND NIGHT AT OUR NEW VENUE: Think Mutual Bank 3655 Hazelton Rd, Edina, MN 55435 What: Eagle Group "Battle Buddies Career Track" When: 5:00-6:15 PM Where: Think Mutual Bank - 3655 Hazelton Rd, Edina, MN 55435 Who: Those vets looking for one-on-one assistance for job search questions, networking or moral support and those who wish to mentor/coach in these areas. How: Register HERE or at the facebook page. When you register, please note topic of interest (an area where you especially need some help). We will meet when we have a "critical mass" of at least 3 or 4, so PLEASE register in advance. We will meet weekly, for a more intimate "break out" session from our larger, monthly Eagle Group meetings. We will continue these meetings if there is enough interest. The purpose is to provide volunteer "battle buddy" (peer) support to transitioning veterans. Depending on vounteer resources, "batttle buddy" assistance can help you work on your most pressing needs. These may include, for example, assistance with resume writing, elevator pitches, networking/contacts, and/or moral support if someone is really down - you name it. This is not a mandatory meeting, but an opportunity for those who wish to contribute and work one-on-one in support of a transitioning veteran. You will be able to bring food into the new venue (just no alcohol please.) There are many options for food within walking distance. |
