EAST TAWAS – The Iosco County Office of Veterans Affairs will host a free Veterans Breakfast for Iosco County Veterans on September 15, according to Veterans Services Officer Ron Whitney.
The event will be held at Rushman Hall (formerly Knights Hall of Columbus) at 821 Newman Street in East Tavas starting at 9:00 am.
Breakfast includes pancakes, French toast, eggs, meat, potatoes, coffee and juice. This is the second time the affairs office has hosted a breakfast for area veterans, Whitney said.
Whitney said the breakfast would be an annual event that would have been held earlier had it not been for the COVID 19 pandemic that forced them to cancel the feature.
“The intent is to try to connect veterans with possible benefits, whether it’s veterans health or veterans compensation and so on,” he said. “It also helps veterans talk to other veterans and build camaraderie.”
District veterans can also interact with him to answer questions about different ongoing veterans issues, he said.
“This year, I’m sure there will be problems with the new PACT-Act that was passed last month — it has a lot of assumptions about the Gulf War and Vietnam,” Whitney said.
For more information about the event, or to direct questions to Whitney, please call 989-362-6571 or email at rwhitney@ioscocounty.org.
