The Nevada Office of Veterans' Services says as many as 1,500 area veterans and military personnel may be unaware of some of the benefits and services they are eligible to receive.
The office has scheduled a Sunday event at the Nevada National Guard Armory to provide information on some of those services and programs. Staff will also be available to interview veterans to determine their eligibility and help with applications.
Executive Director Tim Tetz said those unable to get to the event can make an appointment to meet with a veterans services officer to discuss their eligibility. The number to call is 688-1653.
The guard event is scheduled for Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The armory is at 2460 Fairview Drive.
