The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has selected the Miami Valley as one of 50 communities across the country to create a myVeteran community. The primary mission of a myVeteran Community is to improve support to Veterans and their families by connecting regional Veteran service providers, resources, advocates and other stakeholders to Veterans. In late 2015, the Greater Miami Valley myVeteran Community was organized under the leadership of retired Colonel Cassie Barlow and retired Lt Col John McCance.
