Events
Veteran Spring Festival
April 13th 1-7 pm EST | L'Anse American Legion Post 114
- The event is open to the public, and geared towards anyone who has ever served, anywhere, at any time, their families, and anyone providing care for a veteran.
- Nationally, more than 50% of veterans are not connected to all their earned military benefits, and we know that connection to benefits saves lives and improves quality of life.
- We hope to build Veteran participation in healthcare and wellbeing activities by promoting connectedness and help seeking.
- Representatives from organizations supporting the well-being of veterans, their families and their caregivers will be on hand, as well as the Baraga County Veteran Service Officer, who can assist veterans with claims and other inquiries.
- Representatives from the Iron Mountain VA will present *PACT Act information and suicide prevention training.
- The local Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Tribe will provide snacks during the day.
- If you are unable to attend and want to get connected with your earned benefits, contact the Baraga County Veteran Service Officer, or dial 2-1-1.
