Only 34% of veterans in Virginia are receiving the Veteran Affairs benefits they have earned.
— Veterans Affairs Data
Serving as both Floyd County’s commemoration of Patriot Day and a way to connect veterans with services who support them, Mountain Valor Fest serves as a chance to form meaningful connections. Help us get our veterans in the same spot as those who can help them receive those benefits they earned fighting for our nation, while helping our community honor those we lost over a 20-year war.
