All Veterans. All Branches. All Eras.
The Missouri Veterans Commission along with AMVETS, the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans and Marine Parents will hold 21 Listening Posts across Missouri from September 14 through October 28.
This is a joint effort aimed at assessing the needs of Veterans. Questions will be asked via note cards to assure confidentiality and subject matter experts will be available.
All those who served in the military, regardless of belonging to an organization, are invited to attend.
If you’re a veteran living in Missouri or one of the surrounding states, or if you know someone in the area who could attend for you and speak on your behalf, please make every effort to attend and ensure the voice of veterans is heard. Family members welcome.
Express the issues veterans are facing so others are well-equipped to advocate on behalf of all veterans, from all branches and every era.
We would appreciate you sharing this with your email distribution lists and posting the flyer in locations in your communities.
