Are you a veteran? Know one? West Seattle forum tomorrow

| Triangle | West Seattle news

Just received this from Kyle Geraghty of the West Seattle Veteran Center:

Fellow Veterans, Caregivers, and Family Members,

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Seattle Regional Office will be holding a Town Hall forum at the West Seattle Veteran Center on Monday, January 20, 2014 from 7 pm-9 pm.

The purpose of this event is to provide feedback and personal/individual experiences regarding the veteran claims/compensation claims process.

If you are a veteran or family member/caregiver of a veteran who has sustained injury and have applied for VA compensation, this is an event you should attend to share your experiences.

The WSVC is at the historic American Legion Post 160 building in The Triangle, 3618 SW Alaska.

It’s a common misconception that the term veteran means a person has served in combat. The term actually refers to all former military personnel and anyone who has served could potentially be eligible for VA benefits including healthcare.
