VA Butler Healthcare invites Veterans and their family members to attend the annual “Welcome Home” Event to honor their service and sacrifice to our nation at this weekend’s Fort Armstrong Folk Festival.
From noon-6PM Saturday in Riverfront Park, VA staff will be present to provide VA health care and benefit information, as well as information about special programs, enrollment, education and employment opportunities, Veteran and Veteran family resources, and community resources.
All returning service members will receive a free t-shirt.
According to the healthcare news release, the annual event provides an opportunity for all Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and Operation New Dawn (OND) Veterans to learn more about the variety of VA programs and services available to them. All OEF/OIF/OND combat Veterans can receive cost free medical care for any condition related to their service in the Iraq/Afghanistan theater for five years after the date of their discharge or release.
The event is open to all military service members, returning service members and Veterans of all eras.
