Paulding Veterans Group To Meet May 20

DALLAS, GA — An organization devoted to helping military veterans live a better quality of life will host a pair of meetings in Paulding County later this month.

Operation Not Forgotten, a program of the nonprofit Life Renewed International, will host an informational meeting Saturday, May 20, at 10 a.m. at Bethany Christian Church. That meeting is intended for community members and leaders interested in working with the program.

The church is at 3262 Villa Rica Hwy. in Dallas.

The first meeting for veterans is scheduled for Thursday, May 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the parsonage annex of Bethany Christian Church.

Anyone interested in more information may call 770-445-3181.

Operation Not Forgotten works through Vet Life Community, which runs a series of local, weekly, peer-based support meetings for veterans.

The mission of Operation Not Forgotten, according to its website, is to provide services that support the well-being of veterans and their families.

"We connect them with other veterans — buddies they can trust and relate with to coach them through any difficulties," the site reads. "Our purpose is to measurably enhance and improve a veteran's quality of life and functioning in four areas: mental, emotional, social, and spiritual."
