PRESS RELEASE
November 2, 2022
Lubbock , TX — The Amarillo VA Health Care System is excited to host the first-ever drive-thru “Welcome Home” celebration on Nov. 5 from 1 - 3 p.m. at the Lubbock VA Outpatient Clinic.
This event is free and open to all Veterans and their families. The “Welcome Home” celebration focuses on honoring area Veterans and their families, while paying tribute to their service.
“Many of the Veterans we serve today, did not receive the ‘welcome home’ they deserved,” said Dr. Rodney Gonzalez, Amarillo VA Health Care System Director. “Holding our “Welcome Home” events is a small token of our appreciation and an opportunity for us to ‘welcome home’ ALL Veterans, regardless of the era they served in, and thank them for their service.”
During the event, Veterans will receive a free snack bag courtesy of United Supermarkets, a VA goodie/resource bag, and the opportunity to enter a door prize giveaway which includes a big screen TV, electronics, gift cards, and more! This is first come, first served event.
