EACH AND EVERY DAY, OUR VETERANS ARE RETURNING HOME FACED WITH THE NEED TO RELEARN THE ROPES OF CIVILIAN LIFE WHICH IN MANY WAYS HAS RULES JUST THE OPPOSITE OF THAT WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ON THE BATTLEGROUNDS OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN FOR THE PAST DECADE.
THEIR FAMILIES OFTEN SAY THAT "HE IS NOT THE SAME PERSON THEY USED TO KNOW? YOU KNOW WHAT? NEITHER OUR FEDERAL OR STATE GOVERNMENTS, DESPITE ALL THEY HAVE TO OFFER FINANCIALLY, ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE THESE VETS FEEL AT HOME. THAT'S UP TO US - THEIR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS.
WON'T YOU JOIN OUR BLUE STAR FAMILY PLATOON AND HELP US PROVIDE A BIG WELCOME BACK TO OUR NATION'S HEREOES? CONTACT: NDBLUESTARPLATOON@AOL.COM.

Mission Statement
LAN 63 believes in the development of services that focus on the strengths that exist in families and their connections to their community. Our efforts are guided by a strong commitment to the following:
- Co-ordination between agencies, community organizations, and families for the planning and delivery of services. Children and families benefit most when their support network comes together.
- Both the child’s home and community provide the most natural and least restrictive setting for growth and change.
- Parents are key to the success of a child and the LAN seeks their active participation.
- Our families and communities are rich in their differences of culture, race, and religious affiliations. We learn best from families about the supports that they need.
- Children and their families are unique and have the right to have services tailored to their specific needs.
