A Provider Forum for Veteran Services to be held

Westminster, MD, Tuesday, January 16, 2018 – A Provider Forum for Veteran Services will take place on Friday, January 26, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room K100 at Carroll Community College, 1601 Washington Road, Westminster. This forum is sponsored by the Board of County Commissioners in partnership with the Department of Citizen Services.

Twenty-five agencies will be represented at the forum. Many agencies will inform and educate on their services specific to Veterans and how to access those services.

At the start of this event, AARP Maryland, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense, will present Vietnam Era Veterans with an official Welcome Home lapel pin and Presidential Proclamation honoring their service and sacrifice on behalf of a grateful nation. Living United States Veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of location, are eligible for pinning. In addition, the dependent spouses of veterans, who did not die in combat and who served during the same time period, are also eligible for pinning.

If you would like to attend, contact Leslie Wagner at 410-386-3818 or lwagner@ccg.carr.org.  Seating is limited. Registration is required, with a deadline of Friday, January 19, 2018.
