From Patrick S. Mick
Senior Vice Commander:
I want to personally thank the Schaumburg VFW Post 2202, American Legion Post 1983 of Schaumburg / Hoffman Estates - IL, Hines VA Hospital, The Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs, and Schaumburg Civic Center for the Veterans Resource Fair this past Saturday (September 19th).
This was a joint event with the Schaumburg VFW Post and Schaumburg American Legion Post.
We were able to assist over 20 Veterans local to the Schaumburg, IL area.
As Senior Vice Commander of the Schaumburg VFW, I am very proud of the turnout on our first joint event directly assisting Veterans in our area.
Again, I am very grateful for having the Hines VA Hospital Veteran Representatives and a Veteran Service Officer from IDVA at this event helping Veterans applying into the VA Medical System and help they may need.
I am also grateful for American Legion Post Commander Les Montag (and other members of the American Legion Post) taking time on Saturday with the event.
I look forward to more joint operations to help our Veteran community.
