Contact info@soswhidbey.org. Veterans Many of our neighbors on the north end of the island first came here with the military and have made it their home since. For many of them, it’s been difficult to watch the federal government brazenly trample the principles they swore to protect and defend and now to watch today’s service members so recklessly placed at risk in wars of choice. Not knowing how many of their former colleagues might support at least some of the administration’s policies can leave them feeling isolated. If you know someone like that, invite them to join us! Several local Veterans have been attending Indivisible Whidbey events over the past year or so, and more are always welcome!
