Monday is Rhode Island’s 72nd annual Victory Day, continuing its custom of being the only state that observes a legal holiday to mark the end of World War II. (WPRI) – Like Del’s Lemonade or Saugy dogs, Victory Day is one of the Ocean State’s unique summertime traditions. I think that Veterans like John Cianci continue to do great work for our Veterans, and I hope more Veterans come out and share in the mission of Veterans helping Veterans.PROVIDENCE, R.I. A location where all Veterans know that if the event is published on this site, it has to be a great validated event for our Veterans to feel safe and want to come out of their homes and be able to share in the comradery with their fellow Veterans.
A place where we can showcase events that people in the communities like our Veteran John Cianci has done for Veterans. Maybe a one stop shop for Veterans to inquire about the many great events for Veterans in the State of Rhode Island. A place where all the Veteran Services can add events to a calendar where all Veterans can be welcome, instead of having to search for events on all the separate organizations personal websites or Facebook pages etc. It could be a place for all Veterans from the surrounding area to come inquire about Veteran Friendly or even Veteran only Events. The page could be for information from all Veteran Service Organizations. I also believe that the should in future maybe have a Veterans Page. I believe John Cianci is a great advocate for veterans. He is a graduate of Roger Williams University (BS Finance), UCONN business school* (Entrepreneur Bootcamp For Veterans), Solar Energy International Residential, Commercial and Battery Based Photovoltaic Systems certificate programs, numerous certificates from the Department of Defense renewable energy programs, including graduate of the Solar Ready Vets Program. He is Department of Rhode Island Department Commander Italian American War Veterans and Veteran Service Officer.
