Serving those who serve

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI)- It was one stop shopping for area veterans.

The Mississippi State University Center for America’s Veterans and other organizations hosted a Veteran’s Summit this week in Starkville.

Representatives were on hand to help vets enroll in Veterans Administration Health Care as well as file and check on their Veterans Administration claims.

The event also featured a health fair with important health screenings and local employers set up booths to talk to veterans about job opportunities with their companies.

“There are a whole bunch of scholarship opportunities to help with the families that most don’t really know about,” said retired officer, Jeff Donald. “So coming to a place like this or an event like this I should say more of and hearing and being able to join or sign up it does really help them.”

The event was free and open to all veterans and their family members.
