Yankee Air Museum, local businesses host free Veterans’ Seminar

The Yankee Air Museum will open its doors free of charge for veterans and their families on Wednesday, June 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a Veterans’ Seminar.
The range of presentations will include eligibility for benefits, financial assistance and planning, health care, and disability claims, among others.
The Veterans Seminar is the result of a partnership between Brig. General Carol Ann Fausone (ret.) at Legal Help for Veterans, Comerica Bank, and the Professional Resource Alliance of Greater Michigan.
While the event is free, space is limited to 300 people. RSVPs would be appreciated by Monday, June 9 to [email protected] or 734-740-8867.
Fausone, the event’s organizer, said that veterans and their families simply are not aware of the resources available to them, which was a primary motivator for putting the seminar together.
“Since retiring from the service in 2011, I have encountered countless veterans and families who don’t even know where to begin looking for the help they need. It can be overwhelming,” said Fausone.
“This event will provide veterans with a great opportunity to learn about the benefits to which they’re entitled and how to apply for them.”
Businesses and individuals looking to make a donation to this event, or future Veterans Seminars, can call Legal Help for Veterans at 1-800-693-4800. Monetary donations, or donations in the form of food, beverages, and other materials for the event will be accepted.
