All The Way Home event for Tri-State Area Veterans is an opportunity for Tri-State Area businesses and organizations to show their support for our area Veterans for their service and showcase what services they can offer Veterans and their families and how they may be able to offer support and resources.

For local businesses, this will allow time to open interview potential applicants who may be looking for better options in employment. If you are interested in obtaining a booth or donating to this great cause, please contact our office at 563-589-7840 or email us at dubuque.veterans@dubuquecounty.us. You may also find more information at www.allthewayhomeevent.org.

Military service is considered our nation’s highest form of citizenship and has been freely accepted by millions of men and women throughout U.S. history. There are an estimated 23.5 million living American veterans, and 13 percent of Tri-State residents, as many as 12,000, are military service veterans.

Because of their selfless commitment to our country, U.S. veterans are eligible for a variety of services, both federal and state, to assist them and their families. Veterans administration benefits include: Compensation / pension, healthcare, pharmacy, education, home loans, life insurance, vocational training and rehabilitation, burial and survivors’ benefits. Such services can prove essential to helping vets recover from wartime injuries, readjust to civilian life, build a career and raise their families.
