Veterans in the Sequatchie Valley can learn more about resources available to them at an event planned for March 24 in Dunlap, Tenn.
A “Veterans Open House” event will be held at the City of Dunlap Training Center next to City Hall on Rankin Avenue from 2 to 8 p.m. CDT.
The event is open to all veterans and their loved ones and aims to put the veterans in the community in touch with resources for themselves and their families.
The Tennessee National Guard Family Assistance Program, the Tennessee
Department of Veterans Affairs and The Vet Center are among the organizations participating.
Organizers are still in discussion with Erlanger Hospital to provide health screenings and with SETHRA to provide a representative to discuss the programs SETHRA provides and how they can assist veterans and their families.
There also will be representatives from both the VFW and Legion Posts to discuss the value of membership in either or both organizations.
The event is cosponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #5772 and American Legion Post #190, both in Dunlap.
