Help available for vets in Truckee

Rep. Tom McClintock’s office is providing a forum for veterans’ service providers, American Legion and VFW representatives, and community program sponsors that assist active-duty military, wounded warriors, and military families.

To participate, call the congressman’s Granite Bay office at 916.786.5560.

The forum is designed to provide veterans with the information they need to access the benefits they have earned. Representatives from Nevada County and Placer County veterans service offices will join the congressman’s staff to provide information on filing claims with the Veterans Benefits Administration.

The event is April 17 from 11am-1pm at Truckee Airport, Experimental Aircraft Association Building.
