Posted

BY PCC STAFF

WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Dave Loebsack announced that he will be hosting a series of workshops for veterans and their families across Iowa’s Second District on his “Serving Those Who Served” tour. The workshops, scheduled locally for July 9 and will be held around the district, will give veterans and their families an opportunity to seek assistance if they are having issues with the Veterans Administration (VA), or any Federal agency, and share their thoughts on issues affecting veterans. At each stop, Loebsack and his staff will be joined by representatives from local Veteran Service Organizations, County Veterans Affairs Officers and other groups.

“As Iowans come together to celebrate the founding of our nation, we must also take time to remember the men and women who have fought for the freedoms we cherish. As a military parent, I’ve taken great pride in serving those who served. I strongly believe there is no greater responsibility we have as a nation than to ensure our servicemembers have the support, equipment, and training they need to safely carry out their mission and that we care for our veterans with the same dignity and honor with which they served. I look forward to providing any assistance my office can offer and meeting with veterans and their families to discuss issues important to them.”

Workshops will also be held throughout Iowa’s Second District. This is the seventh year Loebsack has hosted workshops specifically for veterans around the July 4thholiday. Veterans, their families and the media are invited to attend.
