“You served our nation, so now let our nation help you,”
urges Ohio County Veterans Service Officer Paul Gentrup. He along
with veterans service officers from Ripley and Dearborn counties
will be on hand to answer questions regarding veterans' benefits
at the 1st Annual Military and Veterans Expo on Saturday, June 5
at the Milan VFW Post 6234.
There will be representatives from Congressman Baron Hill’s
office to help with any questions along with other state and federal
agencies such as the U.S. Veterans Benefits Administration, Indiana
Department of Veterans Affair, Employer Support of the Guard and
Reserves, and the Army One Source.
The Mobile Health Unit will be on hand to enroll veterans. There
will be military memorabilia displays, live music, free raffles
and refreshments for the attendees.
Veterans will need to bring a copy of their DD-214 in order to be
signed up for healthcare in the VA system.
The expo will run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Milan VFW
located at 1007 N. Warpath Drive at the intersection of the State
