Commissioner Hendon introduces the Department of Veterans Services' three pillars of engagement: volunteer, serve, and lead. These pillars support and inform veterans about programs promoting civic participation.
- The commissioner emphasizes that many veterans continue their service after leaving the military through community involvement.
- DVS recognizes the importance of supporting veterans' roles in society.
- The three pillars framework is presented as a comprehensive approach to fostering civic engagement among veterans.

                                        For many veterans, their service to our nation does not end when they take uniform off.

                                        Rather, it continues daily through their service to friends, family, and the community.

                                        It is crucial that our staff at DBS recognize this and work towards supporting our veterans and society at large.
