We will have representatives from various groups including Congressman Pearce's office, Fort Stanton Burial details, The Choice Card, State benefits, healthcare benefits, Fox Holes for homeless Veterans, Patriot Guard motorcyclists that provide escorts at Veteran funerals, For Veteran's Sake an organization that provides free dogs for PTSD survivors (they train them), also they help those suffering with PTSD without medications, etc.  Please pass this along to those who have served, their spouses, and their friends.

This Friday's meeting will focus on Veteran Issues that particularly effect our Lincoln County Veterans. There are approximately 2,300 Vets living in Lincoln County.

Please remember that a goal of Creative Aging is to ensure that seniors  living in LC are aware of what services are available to them so that they can experience a good quality of life and can continue to live here. Dave Tomlin's recent article on this  Veteran Meeting is also helpful to read in advance about the purpose of this meeting. (Ruidoso News,3.15.17)
