Editor's note: This press release was submitted by state Rep. Mark Ouimet's office.

Rep. Mark Ouimet (R-Scio Township) is sponsoring a veterans forum in Ann Arbor on Tuesday to address concerns about benefit coverage and the transition from military to civilian life.

The event will take place at the Washtenaw County Intermediate School District building, 1819 S. Wagner Rd. in Ann Arbor, from 6-8 p.m. on Nov. 8. Jason Allen, senior deputy for the Michigan Department of Veterans Affairs, also will attend.

"I encourage all area veterans to attend this important forum to help get their questions answered about benefits and other veterans services," Ouimet said. "Veterans have sacrificed so much to protect our country and way of life, and one important way to show our gratitude is by making sure they receive the benefits they deserve."

Veterans who are unable to attend the forum are encouraged to contact Ouimet toll free at 1-855-627-5052 or e-mail markouimet@house.mi.gov with a question or concern.
