About
The York County Veterans Outreach was established in the fall of 2013 by Susan Byrnes, R.N., Veteran Craig Trebilcock, and a group of committed individuals. Recognizing a need to assist local veterans and their families, we have enlisted the help of a wide range of individuals and veteran-affiliated organizations.
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
