California Transition Assistance Program November Webinar Series

 

Dear Service Members, Veterans, and Family Members,  

 

As we enter November, we take time to honor and remember all who have worn the uniform of our nation. Veterans Day reminds us of the courage, sacrifice, and commitment of those who have served—and continue to serve—our country. We are deeply grateful not only to our veterans but also to our community partners and supporters, whose dedication and generosity allow us to carry out our mission of serving those who have served. Your partnership ensures that veterans and their families receive the care, connection, and recognition they deserve. 



November 10th also marks a special milestone for our Marine brothers and sisters: the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. We salute every Marine, past and present, for embodying the values of honor, courage, and commitment. Semper Fidelis! 

 

As we celebrate this month of gratitude, let’s remember to reach out to fellow veterans, lend a hand where it’s needed, and take pride in the bond we share. While we’re taking a short pause from our regular programming, please note that we will not be hosting webinars this month. Be sure to check in with us later for updates on upcoming events and learning opportunities—we look forward to connecting with you again soon. 

 

In addition to our virtual workshops, CalTAP also offers in-person workshops throughout California to inform and connect veterans of all eras to their earned federal and state benefits. 



Please visit the CalTAP webpage for upcoming workshops and archives, and the CalVet YouTube channel for more information.
