The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) announced its Virtual Veteran Town Hall Series. The series aims to provide the commonwealth's nearly 800,000 veterans with a convenient platform to learn and ask questions about programs and benefits earned through their military service.

The programs will be held every other month, and all sessions will run from 5 to 6:30 p.m. via Webex. The first session will take place on Wednesday, March 16, and the topic will be "Veteran Suicide Prevention," with a focus on the support and resources available to veterans throughout the commonwealth. The other topics and dates will be "Serving Older Veterans" on Wednesday, May 18; "Resources for Homeless Veterans" on Wednesday, July 13; "Transportation Issues Facing Veterans" on Wednesday, Sept. 14; and "Honoring Veterans for Their Service and Sacrifice" on Wednesday, Nov. 2. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions of the presenters live through Webex's chat feature.
