#Veteran Events & Announcements 3/8 to 3/31
If your group has an event benefiting veterans, or you hear of an event, please share with me so I can share with the veteran community. I would rather get an event 3 times than not at all! Please make sure any flyer lists address of event and a contact person!
You can also find many other veteran events & information for Veterans on the State of MI Veterans website and a few others:
