Carroll County Wants To Recognize Veterans

From Carroll County: A Provider Forum for Veteran Services will take place on Friday, January 26, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room K100 at Carroll Community College, 1601 Washington Road, Westminster. This forum is sponsored by the Board of County Commissioners in partnership with the Department of Citizen Services. At the start of this event, AARP Maryland, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense, will present Vietnam Era Veterans with an official Welcome Home lapel pin and Presidential Proclamation honoring their service and sacrifice on behalf of a grateful nation.

Living United States Veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of location, are eligible for pinning. In addition, the dependent spouses of Veterans, who did not die in combat and who served during the same time period, are also eligible for pinning.

If you meet these eligibility requirements and would like to attend and participate in this ceremony, please contact Leslie Wagner at 410-386-3818 or lwagner@ccg.carr.org to register. Seating is limited with registration preferred, with a deadline of Friday, January 19, 2018.
