Veterans, families invited to welcome-home celebration
The Veterans Affairs Southern Nevada Healthcare System has teamed up with veterans advocacy groups to hold a welcome-home celebration Monday for vets of all generations and their families.
The event, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Palace Station’s Grand Ballroom, offers veterans a chance to learn more about VA health care and benefits, employment opportunities, education funding, and housing and mortgage issues.
“To all veterans: Welcome home and job well done,” said Stacy DePriest, transition program manager for the local VA health care office.
“The VA and the Las Vegas community thank you for serving and protecting our country,” she said in a news release.
The sponsors of the event include Catholic War Veterans of the USA Inc. & Auxiliary; Disabled American Veterans chapters 12, 13 and 15; and Elks of Southern Nevada Veteran Services.
