🌈 Happy Pride Month from OMVA! 🌈

This month, we celebrate the strength, courage, and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals in our veteran, military-connected, and campus communities.

Pride Month is a time to honor the diverse stories, experiences, and identities that enrich our community. We remain committed to fostering an environment where every student, veteran, service member, and family member feels welcomed, respected, and supported.

Together, we recognize the importance of inclusion, dignity, and belonging not only this month, but every day. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🤎💛

Great work to all the Broncos who helped make this happen! ✨Recently, Michigan National Guard officers traveled to the Armed Forces of Liberia to conduct a pre-deployment site survey in preparation for an upcoming medical readiness exercise alongside the Armed Forces of Liberia.🦷
During the visit, Soldiers toured potential dental treatment facilities at Camp Tubman Clinic in Gbarnga and met with Liberian medical leaders to coordinate efforts for the mission ahead.
These engagements strengthen readiness, build lasting partnerships, and support shared goals through collaboration and care!
