“It also allows the leadership of the various organizations to come and present to the greater veteran population, so it keeps them informed and also helps them and their families plug into needed benefits that are there and services that are there throughout our area that some of them may not be aware of,” Jacksonville City Council At-large Position 5 Chris Miller said.
The event helped to keep veterans and their families connected and how they can help each other.
