Honor Veterans At Building Bridges BY COURTNEY MENGEL
hen Lloyd Anderson returned home after serving in World War II and the Korean War, he experienced what is known today at post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At the time, there were not as many services offered as there are today that help veterans process what they have experienced. Lloyd struggled to find his way and took his own life. Lloyd’s brother, Dave Anderson, also an Army veteran, decided to found the Building Bridges Foundation, to which he donated his 21-acre farm. With the goal of providing a safe space for personal growth through equine-assisted activities for veterans and their families, as well as those who have experienced trauma and loss, and those who are dealing with cognitive and emotional challenges, the Building Bridges Foundation at Anderson Farm became an official nonprofit organization in 2015.

Their services are offered at no cost to veterans and their families. On Saturday, Nov. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Building Bridges Foundation at Anderson Farm will host its annual Veterans Day Service event, which will feature giveaway drawings for guns.
