Ulster County Continues Its Commitment To Veterans
KINGSTON, N.Y. – Ulster County Executive Mike Hein has announced that the Ulster County Veterans’ Service Agency will be hosting a Veterans Stand-Down on Friday, August 19th from 9:00AM to 3:00PM. The event will take place at the Business Resource Center located at Development Court in Kingston. In addition to the opportunity for Veterans to network and visit with long-time friends, accredited service officers will be available to discuss available benefits. The event will also feature a VA clinic, employment and legal assistance, as well as the chance to browse military surplus clothing for those in need.
“As Americans we owe a debt to our Veterans that we can never truly repay. Hosting events such as this is a small way to say thank you to our Veterans and let them know that we remember the sacrifices they made on our behalf,” said County Executive Mike Hein. “I urge all of Ulster County’s Veterans to attend, whether to inquire about available services, coordinate with the VA, or even to simply see friends and enjoy lunch and some entertainment.”
The event is free for all Veterans. Refreshments and lunch will be served and entertainment provided by the band Thunder Ridge at noon. Any Veteran who would like to attend but requires transportation, is asked to call the Ulster County Veterans’ Service Agency at 845-340-3190 to make arrangements or for further information.
