The Gathering of Warriors is presented by the Diné Naazbaa Partnership and Firebase Committee. Over the course of this multi-day event, we will host a standdown offering vital resources, connections to VA benefits, meaningful information, and heartfelt appreciation—fostering camaraderie, healing, and support within a traditional grassroots environment. This will be a space for warriors to gather to build bonds and feel at ease, while bringing outside agencies together to recognize where our warriors come from. Welcome to veterans and their families from all nations, all branches, and all eras! This event is free to attend, but each attendee must register. Registration ends October 2, 2025.
