EMPOWERING VETERANS
ETS (Every Third Saturday) exists to assist Veterans in finding new purpose after military service. Our mission focuses on fostering hope and supporting post-traumatic growth for Veterans. Watch this video to find out more about our story, the services we offer, and the ways we’re helping Veterans every day.
ETS WALK TO STAY IN THE FIGHT
Join us at Viking Lakes for the ETS Walk to Stay in the Fight, an event dedicated to raising awareness about Veteran suicide and standing alongside those who’ve served.
The 2.3-mile route around the lakes serves as a symbolic reminder of the 23 Veterans lost to suicide every single day. But this walk is about more than a number. It’s about hope. It’s about connection. It’s about showing Veterans they do not have to fight alone.
