“Our Veterans qualify for a vast array of services and benefits. Many of them are unaware of programs and agencies at their disposal. This forum will serve as a one stop shop to update these veterans about the services and agencies available to them to move their lives forward after returning home,” Turner said in a statement.

Guest speakers include Assemblyman Mike Miller, John Rowan of Vietnam Veterans of America, Steve Gonzales of the American Legion and more.
