“A special ‘thank you’ goes out to American Legion Post 75 and their members for hosting this event,” Zimmerman said.

The forum will address pressing issues with the VA healthcare system. Hultgren, Braverman and Turner will hear directly from veterans and answer questions at the forum.

“Veterans deserve our utmost respect, and that includes making good on our promises to them,” Hultgren said. “I look forward to joining our local veterans, their families and key representatives from the VA to discuss and address ongoing issues and concerns with VA healthcare, disability, pensions, survivor’s benefits, job-seeking assistance and other services for veterans.”
