Veterans outreach effort coming to Alaska

American Legion national staff and Department of Alaska Legionnaires are teaming up April 30-May 1 for a veterans outreach and district revitalization effort. Wartime veterans in the area are invited to the event to get veterans benefits help and learn about American Legion program.

The effort will take place from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. both days at Spenard American Legion Post 28, 7001 Brayton Dr., Anchorage.

A veteran service officer will be available both days to assist with Department of Veterans Affairs-related issues and other veterans benefits questions.
