In honor of National Veterans and Military Families Month, the Yale Latino Networking Group invites you to remember “Los Veteranos” and thank them for their service. We are truly thankful of “Los Veteranos” and invite Yale Latinos to reflect while giving thanks. Check out our curated resources, volunteer opportunities, and events below.
