Nebraska Women Veterans Symposium |
|||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
|
The State of Nebraska held its first ever Women Veterans
Symposium this past weekend in Kearney. Women veterans from across the state
came to listen to presenters from the VA and other veteran organizations talk
about resources and benefits available to veterans. They also participated in
art and wellness activities, and chatted with exhibitors who had booths set
up at the symposium. Thank you to everyone who attended the symposium, and
thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible for Nebraska’s
women veterans. A full album of photos is available to view on our Flickr and Facebook pages. |
