Deployed Soldiers

The Carson City Mall hosted a booth Saturday put on by Delaney Mott that aims to help deployed soldiers feel they are not forgotten.

What once began as casual letter writing and card sending by mother and daughter to delayed troops has since grown to a community event with the help of Delaney.

Support our U.S. military by sending care packages and writing letters for soldiers this Saturday, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Carson Mall.

Two guest speakers will be featured this month at the second Silver Springs social for families with military members and veterans.

The social will be held on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 11 a.m. at the Silver Springs Senior/Community Center, 2945 Fort Churchill Road in Silver Springs. The gathering is for Silver Springs and Stagecoach families of veterans, enlisted and reserve members, and for reserve, active duty, and veterans. It is open to anyone from Silver Springs and Stagecoach with a family member who is or has been in the military. Children are very welcome!

During the September 2010 Healthy Communities Coalition meeting, over 70 community leaders and officials from throughout Lyon County, Nevada gathered to sign a “community covenant.” The covenant promised Lyon County communities, State and local groups will work together to increase community support to the area’s military families and veterans. A number of new or expanded events and initiatives have followed that pledge.
