Disaster Recovery International Foundation Helps Military, Veterans Worldwide During COVID-19 Quarantine

NEW YORK, New York – May 29, 2020 – As COVID-19 gripped the world, many military service members, who were slated to leave the service soon, were severely impacted by the pandemic as workdays were reduced and many were told to stay at home. Additionally, DOD installations around the world put on hold their critical Transition Assistance Programs (TAP), which are crucial part of a military member’s transition out of the military and into the corporate world.
