Event offers answers to any veteran question
Lawrence County is home to 4800 veterans, a group that includes our youngest National Guardsmen and 28 veterans of World War II.
Because of that range of age and experience, they have a wide variety of concerns. Some are interested in education benefits and home loans. Others need information about pensions and nursing home expenses.
Next Wednesday, October 18, every agency, business, and organization that works with veterans in any way will be represented at a Veteran’s Outreach event at Lawrenceburg’s National Guard Armory. Hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. so everyone can come at a time convenient to them.
“Whatever issues they have, someone will be there to talk to them about it,” said Donnie Morris, who has served as Lawrence County Veterans Service Officer for three years.
Tennessee’s first female Commissioner of Veteran Affairs, Many-Bears Grinder, is expected to attend, along with representatives from the Veterans Administration (VA). Local officials have been invited, and assistants to U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander and U.S. Representative Marsha Blackburn. Members of local veterans’ organizations: American Legion Posts 63 and 146, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1618, and DAV Chapter 20 will be on hand to discuss the benefits of membership.
Experts in specific areas of veteran health and care will be there to offer advice about suicide prevention, insurance, nursing homes, assisted living, rehabilitation, and hospice. Funerals, burial, and memorials can be planned as well.
Area bankers will be available to discuss loan programs. Veterans, their surviving children and spouses can learn about education benefits and area schools. Employment is another important topic, and some area businesses will be there to take applications.
Morris said a big crowd is expected. Most neighboring counties have only part-time Veterans Service staff, so veterans and their families are expected form Maury, Giles, Wayne and Lewis counties, and North Alabama.
Remember that staff at our Veterans Service Office can help with most issues at any time, but this event offers a one-stop-shop for veterans of all ages and their families.
