JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2025
In celebration of #NationalFriendshipDay on August 3rd, Liberty is celebrating Friendship Month in August. It is a wonderful time to reflect on the value of friends and a time to nurture your relationships – old and new! As you know, friendships in the military are often lifelong. It is so important to make that connection within your community and encourage one another.
Friendships can lead to overall better health, being happier, gaining experiences, the feeling of being supported, a sense of belonging, and more. From all of us at Liberty, thank you for being our friend! We look forward to connecting with you all month at our events! Keep reading this newsletter to find all the opportunities to connect this month!
Liberty Military Housing puts on free resident events throughout the year to encourage building friendships and a sense of community. Moving around can be a difficult transition but getting out to meet your new neighbors could lead to new friendships and ease this change. SatisFacts
