The event, as described, was a great mixer and opportunity for members of our community to meet and converse. Michael O’Gorman opened the evening by giving credit to all of the people who have brought the FVC along thus far.

Nadia McCaffrey is a Gold Star Mother: she lost her son in the Iraq War and is doing something about it. She founded Veterans Village to provide compassionate healing and living environments for returning veterans damaged by their war experience.

In these clips from her address – following her introduction by FVC’s Michael O’Gorman – she describes the expansion of Veterans Village to sites in Minnesota and New York, where land is avaiable for farming and gardening – important components for both the healing and livelihood of the communities.

Nadia sees a clear connection between Veterans Village and the agricultural training goals of the Farmer-Veteran Coalition. We hope to soon be helping vets become the competent farmers and gardeners that they can be.
