On Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System hosted a DECON Training Exercise on our C.W.Y. VAMC Campus. The exercise simulated a scenario where citizens who had been affected by an unknown contaminant presented to Bay Pines VA's emergency department for aid. Staff who participated in the exercise practiced donning the appropriate protective gear, and walked through the actions they would be expected to take in a real world scenario.

Bay Pines VA thanks the staff and community partners who participated in this training exercise, to help ensure we remain prepared to provide high-quality care during an emergency.

As of Sept. 25, 2025, it is now legal to open carry a firearm in the state of Florida. Despite this change in the law, it remains illegal to bring firearms onto federal property.

Every person who enters federal property is required to adhere to 38 CFR 1.218(b)(37) which states: Possession of firearms, carried either openly or concealed, whether loaded or unloaded (except by Federal or State law enforcement officers on official business) is prohibited on federal property.

Please continue to be mindful of this federal regulation.

Today, Bay Pines VA continues our celebration of milestone birthdays! U.S. Army Veteran John Skeen celebrated his 107th birthday while surrounded by family, friends, and Bay Pines VA staff.

During WWII, Mr. Skeen served honorably as a platoon leader in the 70th Infantry Division in the European Theater of Operations. Born on Oct. 3, 1918, the former sergeant was drafted into the Army in January of 1941. He fought bravely at the Tip of the Spear, earned two purple hearts, a bronze star with V for valor, and the Legion of Honor, which is France's highest order of merit.

Mr. Skeen is a resident of the our Community Living Center, and we are proud to serve him with the dignity and compassion he deserves!
