Washongton State Hospitalized Veterans Emergency Exit Assistance Program

Mothers of Military Support, in association with the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs and Mr. Tom Riggs, have created the Hospitalized Veterans Emergency Exit Transition Assistance Program (WSHVEETAP). This program is designed to give you an opportunity to reach out and touch one of our great Service Members and offer them assistance in a time of need.

Tom is a Program Manager with the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs. His responsibility is to the men and women in the Warrior Transition Unit at Madigan Army Medical Center. These men and women, serving in all service components have been injured in the line of duty serving our great country. Tom provides access to resources and counseling and helps them transition back to a civilian life.

Tom spent 30 years on active duty in the Army, and is a retired Sergeant Major. He spent the majority of his career counseling, presenting solid information on veterans’ benefits, and helping young families adjust to the rigors of service.

After retirement, he worked in sales and customer service for eight years, and then returned to his first love of serving the military and our veterans after 9/11. Tom makes his home in Lakewood, Washington with his wife of 40 years, Martha, and enjoys traveling and visiting his grown children and grandchildren.

The Pentagon started giving soldiers stationed in Iraq two-week leave periods in the largest R & R program since the Vietnam War; the soldiers can fly to Germany or Baltimore Washington International Airport for free, but they are responsible for the cost of flights to their final destination.

Returning soldiers often have to purchase high-priced, last-minute airline tickets so they can spend time with their family.

You can help American troops travel home to spend quality time with their loved ones by sending them a Veterans Remembrance Card.

Thank you for your support.
