Honor Begins Here
Sisters and Brothers,
This Veterans Day across our great nation, we honor the proud individuals who served our country. We remember the men and women, and their families, who have made the ultimate sacrifice during wartime, those who made it through, and those who gave of their time and commitment during peacetime. We will again remember the willingness and sacrifice of America’s veterans who served our country — service that deserves our lasting gratitude.
Honor Those Who Honor Us
On this special day we are always mindful that while this holiday is about commemoration and reflection, it is also very much about renewing and ever investing in our nation’s solemn duty to care for our service members and to ensure they receive the resources they need. That commitment to those who have served does not and must not end when their service ends and they return home. In this, the UAW will continue to stand tall for our veteran members’ benefits, opportunities andwelfare.

A Safe Place To Lay is a non-profit organization geared towards providing shelter to our forgotten heroes in the Greater Atlanta area. The company was founded in 2014 by caring individuals whose sons now proudly serve in our military. It's truly astonishing the number of homeless veterans that are being exposed to the elements nightly in every major city in the US. The same country that promised to protect them for life in exchange for protecting this Great Nation. The time has come for us to unite and give our heroes A Safe Place To Lay. Our shelter will provide comfort, nutritious meals, and a variety of essentials that one needs. We plan to give back to those who unselfishly gave of themselves first.
