SOS Monthly Night Out Call for upcoming dates

Take time out! Surround yourself with family and friends to enjoy a night out of laughter and fellowship with other Survivor Families. Children are always welcome.

2nd Annual Survivor Services Day June 2 / 8 am–2 pm

Survivor Services Day is a day to honor and recognize Survivors of our Fallen Soldiers. This is a day to commemorate the ultimate sacrifices of our Soldiers and fulfilling the

Army Family Covenant. As stated by our Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Army, “Never before in the history of our Army have we asked so much of our Families. They are serving side-by-side with our Soldiers, enduring their hardships and providing the unconditional love and support that truly make our Army strong. The Army Family Covenant pledges

our commitment to support Soldiers and their Families and resource programs to provide them a quality of life commensurate with their service.”

Over 34 Fort Belvoir Agencies and Non-Governmental Agencies will be available to answer questions from Survivor Families regarding Survivor benefits and entitlements.

Continental Breakfast and Lunch will be provided. Child care is available with pre-registration. Open to all Survivor Families, including Retiree/Veteran Survivors

and general community, and Fort Belvoir and MWR customers.
