OPERATION VICTOR ECHO TANGO provides assistance to our local Veterans, their families, and other non profit organizations with a similar mission. We are continuously adding resources to better assist when opportunities arise.If you've found yourself, or know someone, in a situation  needing assistance  please contact us. A helping hand is what we're offering and we're never far away. 

Looking for a local place to meet fellow Veterans and discuss problems you may be trying to cope with? Look no further.

Our Vet to Vet support meetings are designed to create a free and confidential support group to Veterans of any era.
If your dealing with issues and you're not sure where to turn,  stop by and meet a fellow brother or sister of arms. As well, multiple Veteran Organizations and  local Veteran Service Officers will be on hand  to provide information for  further available assistance.
If you know a someone who could benefit  from the support meetings, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH THEM. Also, if you'd like to come to mentor or volunteer we'd love to hear from you.  Feel free to message or call us with questions and until then, we'll see you there.

Meetings to be held at Sulphur Springs Senior Citizen's Center, 150 Martin Luther King Jr Dr, Sulphur Springs, Texas 75482 , follow us on Facebook for dates and times.
