NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Veterans from across Western New York got a helping hand on Friday in Niagara Falls, where the city held the Veteran Stand Down event at Heat, Love and Soul. The one-day event offered information on veteran benefits, legal advice, and housing services. There were health services, a free lunch, and giveaways. The event offers veterans valuable services for free that many of them really need. "We're actually looking currently at a downward trend of the veteran population in Western New York just by people moving out of the area and older veterans unfortunately, passing away," Alyssa Vasquez, the director of marketing at the Veterans One-Stop Center, told 2 On Your Side.
