VA Encourages Veterans to Attend; Town Hall. Sept. 12

Veterans and their families and survivors in the St. Louis, area are invited to participate in a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) town hall discussion this Friday to hear the latest on VA programs and provide their own feedback on benefits and services provided by VA.

The VA’s St. Louis Veterans Affairs Regional Office is inviting public participation at the September 12, 2014 town hall to be held at the Robert A. Young Federal Building, 1222 Spruce Street, St. Louis, Missouri in the 2ndfloor Auditorium at 10:00 a.m. The meeting is open to all members of the public, including Congressional stakeholders, Veterans Service Organizations, state and local governmental and non-governmental organizations, and other community partners.

The town hall is one of many being held around the country. New VA Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald announced the town hall meetings to improve communications with, and hear directly from, Veterans nationwide as an important step toward improving the delivery of benefits and services and rebuilding trust among all those VA serves.

The St. Louis VA Office is one of 56 around the country which provides a wide array of financial benefits to eligible Veterans and their families, such as disability compensation for service-related injuries or illnesses, income-based pension for wartime Veterans and their survivors, education, vocational rehabilitation and employment, home loan, and life insurance benefits.
