Never Leave One Behind Hosts Veterans Fair

NLOB’s Veterans Helping Veterans Project Brings Out a Crowd

By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer

There were some serious health and veteran’s benefits-related conversations held at the Never Leave One Behind Veteran Fair held last Saturday at the Jackie Robinson YMCA.

No subjects dealing with health or financial-benefits were off limits at the NLOB community information day event. Informative speakers willingly shared their knowledge (with) all of the room’s interested listeners. Cancer, COVID, blood pressure, diabetes, stress, cardiovascular issues and much more were some of the health-related topics of discussion. Non-veterans were also invited to attend the gathering for the health & wellness portion of the special event.

“I want to thank some of the important people that helped to make this critical event possible,” said NLOB founder Larry Price. “Dr. Jerome Robinson, MD; Veterans Benefit Adviser David

All Guard Insurance; Samantha Williams and her staff from JIREH Providers; the YMCA for the use of the building; Lakemba Hinton; and all of our friends for their unwavering support.”
