FLAG DAY 2025
JUNE 11TH - 14TH
LOCATIONS ACROSS ROCHESTER

When Sean left the Marine Corps, the challenges of returning to civilian life were difficult. “I found myself in trouble and was assigned to veterans court. Veterans Outreach Center took over and provided a soft place for me to land. They helped me get things under control.”

Behind every veteran is a story of sacrifice, courage, and commitment—not just in moments of conflict but also in quiet days of service far from home, missed birthdays, and the challenging journey back to civilian life. 

This Flag Day, we're raising funds to support veterans like Sean in our community — people who stepped forward when called and now need our help.
