On March 8th Mayor Christi Fraga and the City Council honored Vet Info Inc. and Bass Pro Shops Miami in the Doral Government Center. Vet Info received the Key to the City for their instrumental role in supporting those who have bravely served in the United States Military and their families through Events and Programs. Bass Pro Shops was also honored with a special Proclamation for their many efforts that provide resources to the Veterans to improve quality of life, and for giving back to the community. Both organizations have collaborated regularly with the City of Doral to address the needs of the Veterans and Active Duty Service Members at Southern Command.
When the Founders of Vet Info Created the organization they thought long and hard about who to represent. Numerous larger Veteran Non-Profits focus on 9/11 forward, but Vet Info is proud to focus on all Living Veterans that served from World War II to present day.
