OUR MISSION

Founded in 1999 to support Veteran advocacy, the VMLC’s mission is to ensure quality medical & mental health care for Maricopa County Veterans and to encourage initiatives that honor the contributions made to the city, state & nation by Veterans and the men and women serving in the U.S. military forces. The VMLC is strongly committed to providing a much needed financial safety net for those Veterans needing a hand up, not a hand out, during their difficult transition back into society.  This assistance helps keep a roof over their heads, put food on the table, and have transportation to medical appointments, rehabilitation, job training, and interviews.  This all made possible by donations from caring patriots who love our country and acknowledge the sacrifice of our Veterans!

Remembering Brigadier General Tom Browning...

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Brigadier General (ret) Tom Browning.  Tom was a true war hero, leader and friend.  He was a member of the VMLC for over 10 years and instrumental in its Returning Warrior program to assist Veterans in need. He had a heart for the troops.  His distinguished military career and involvement in the community have directly improved our lives. We are grateful for his service and lasting friendship. We extend our sympathy and prayers to his family for the loss of this very special man who touched our lives. In Tom's honor, each year at the Heroes Patriotic Luncheon, a community champion will be presented with the BG Tom Browning Community Heroes Award to serve as a reminder for all he did for veterans in Arizona.
