Greetings from your WDVA Director:
David Puente Jr.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it reminds us that some of the toughest battles our Veterans face are the ones no one can see.
Traumatic Brain Injury doesn’t always look like an injury, it often shows up in the everyday moments of frustration, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed. These are not signs of weakness;
they are signs of how the brain heals and adapts after injury. At WDVA, we want every Veteran and family member to know they’re not alone. Our TBI Toolkit is designed to help you recognize
these invisible challenges and connect with support that can make a real difference. Reaching out is a strength, and your WDVA is here to walk alongside you.

The WDVA TBI Toolkit gives Veterans and families quick, accessible information and resources to support life after a traumatic brain injury. It includes clear education on TBI, guided
journaling prompts, and connections to state and national support networks.
Designed to help Veterans find the right support at the right time, the toolkit is a simple, year‑round resource that strengthens the connections between recovery, community, and care.

Memorial Day Events & Observances - Submit your events
Memorial Day is the one day set aside for the specific purpose of honoring those that have given their lives in defense of our great nation. It is a day to remember their sacrifice and
their courage to be willing to give it. We remember our loved ones. They are our friends, our family, and our fellow service members. The calendar says we set aside one special day…,
but our hearts and minds know we remember them always. - WDVA Director, David Puente Jr.
Memorial Day, which is observed on the last Monday of May, commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service. In observance of the holiday, many people visit cemeteries
and memorials, and volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at national cemeteries. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

May is Military Spouse Appreciation Month
This Military Spouse Appreciation Month, we honor the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of military spouses across Washington State and beyond.
From navigating frequent moves and career changes to supporting their families, communities, and fellow service members, military spouses are the backbone of our military community.
Their dedication, leadership, and service deserve recognition not just this month, but every day.
The Washington State Military Spouse Liaison advocates for spouses of Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserve Service Members and Veterans.
The Washington State Military Spouse Initiative works to reduce and remove employment barriers for military spouses and connect them to the resources they and their families need to
thrive in our State.

Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee community conversations strike up dialogue on how to better serve Whitman County
The Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee (VAAC) & Women Veterans Advisory Committee (WVAC) helped to provide community connections to your WDVA in Whitman County. The event consisted
of three major components: a Women Veterans “She Served” Forum, a VAAC Community Conversation, and a Veterans Resource Fair.
All three focused on identifying needs, improving access to benefits, and strengthening support networks for Veterans in Whitman County.
The day opened with an in‑person forum hosted by the Washington Women Veterans Advisory Committee (WVAC). The purpose was to listen directly to women Veterans, understand their regional
needs, and discuss how to improve equitable access to earned benefits. Participants were encouraged to share experiences, highlight barriers, and help shape future WDVA outreach and
support strategies.
Hosted by the Governor’s Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee (VAAC), the community conversation brought together service providers, community partners, and Veterans to discuss how organizations
currently support Veterans, and where gaps remain. Some of the gaps mentioned were transportation challenges, funding and budget issues and connecting with younger generation Veterans.
The afternoon concluded with a resource fair featuring state and federal VA representatives, resource service providers, advocates, and community organizations. Veterans and families
could meet one‑on‑one with providers to learn about benefits, healthcare, education, employment, and support programs.

Washington Veterans Home in Port Orchard
With hands that have served and stories that run deep, the Veterans in our Memory Care unit at the Washington Veterans Home in Port Orchard recently spent time tending to their courtyard
garden—planting far more than vegetables and herbs. Each seed placed in the soil carried a sense of pride, purpose, and peaceful reflection.
For many of our residents, gardening is more than an activity; it’s a familiar rhythm that brings comfort and connection. As they worked the soil, shared memories surfaced—of past gardens,
family traditions, and time spent outdoors throughout their lives. The courtyard filled with quiet conversation, gentle laughter, and the steady focus that comes from doing something
meaningful with one’s hands.
The garden itself has become a cherished space, offering calm moments, sensory engagement, and a place where our veterans can nurture something that grows under their care. Watching
the plants take root and flourish mirrors the resilience and spirit our veterans carry with them every day.
This simple act of gardening continues to enrich our community, reminding us that even small moments can cultivate joy, dignity, and connection.

the Rock Steady boxing program, Washington Veterans Home is launching a boxing gym designed for residents living with Parkinson’s disease. The program helps improve balance, coordination,
mobility, and endurance, while also supporting confidence, focus, and mental health.

Walla Walla Veterans Home
The Walla Walla Veterans Home recently benefited from a meaningful Eagle Scout project led by Cooper Phillips of a Kennewick Boy Scouts troop. After visiting the campus and spending
time with residents, Cooper chose the Veterans Home as the site for his project, collaborating with the Activities Department to design and assemble a new greenhouse for year‑round
gardening. The project fulfilled a long‑held wish among residents who had hoped for a dedicated space to grow flowers and produce.
The effort came together through extensive planning, coordination with staff, and support from the resident council, which funded the greenhouse. Facilities staff prepared the site with
a new paver pad, and a team of scouts and leaders arrived to complete the assembly. In partnership with a local restaurant, a shared meal was provided for veterans and the scout group,
creating a warm moment of community connection.
To commemorate the occasion, Cooper also presented a handcrafted shadow box featuring the U.S. flag and emblems of all military branches—a meaningful tribute to the veterans who call
Walla Walla Veterans Home their own.

Washington Soldiers Home in Orting
The Washington Soldiers Home in Orting hosted its annual fishing derby, made even more spirited by a friendly competition with the Washington Veterans Home in Retsil. Residents, staff,
and volunteers gathered at the pond for a morning of steady casting, shared encouragement, and plenty of excitement as fish were reeled in throughout the event.
One resident earned top honors by catching 11 trout, while the smallest catch measured just 2 inches and the largest an impressive 22 inches. Each fish caught was prepared on site by
the kitchen team and served fresh to participating residents, adding a delicious touch to the day.
The event was supported by dedicated volunteers and the Nisqually hatchery, whose generous stocking of the pond helped make the derby a success. The gathering brought together community,
camaraderie, and a healthy dose of friendly rivalry—another memorable day at the Washington Soldiers Home.

Spokane Veterans Home
The Spokane Veterans Home enjoyed a truly uplifting visit from a group of Riverside Middle School students who joined our veterans for a lively morning of bingo. The students brought
treats to share and spent time sitting with our residents, chatting, laughing, and creating meaningful connections across generations.
The room was filled with energy—smiles, friendly competition, and plenty of shared stories. Moments like these remind us how powerful simple acts of kindness can be and how much joy
comes from bringing our community together.
It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved, and the memories made will be cherished for a long time.

Transitional Housing Program
The Transitional Housing Program was recently represented at the Naches Trail Career Day by Program Manager Melissa Weitzel, who spent time engaging with students and sharing insights
about the work being done to support Washington’s veterans. Her presentation sparked lively conversations, with students especially captivated by her discussion on invasive species—earning
plenty of laughs and making the day memorable for everyone involved.
Teachers and staff expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to learn more about how state programs, including those connected to the Governor’s Office, contribute to serving
communities across Washington. The visit offered meaningful interaction for both students and adults, highlighting the value of connecting young learners with public service professionals.
The event was warmly received, and the school extended its gratitude for Melissa’s participation and the positive impact she made during Career Day.

Program Spotlight
Testimonial from Veterans Conservation Corps Intern
In the video story below, viewers hear from former Veterans Conservation Corps (VCC) intern Niguel, who completed his internship with the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group in Belfair
at the end of last November. The experience strengthened his commitment to pursuing a career in conservation and led him to apply for a master’s program in Environmental Studies at
Evergreen State College.
VCC also connected him with a former intern who completed the same program and another who is currently enrolled, helping build a supportive network as he begins his academic journey.
Niguel’s internship also demonstrates the cross‑organizational collaboration that VCC makes possible. His position was funded by NOAA, a federal marine conservation and research agency,
while the on‑the‑ground internship was hosted by a rural nonprofit in Mason County dedicated to supporting the local river ecosystem and salmon populations.
This partnership reflects coordination across federal, state, and local levels, with WDVA helping channel federal resources into a rural community.
