Congressman Vern Buchanan invites you to attend a Veterans Appreciation Fair

for veterans and military men and women in Florida’s 13th District.

Veterans will be recognized for the important role they’ve played in protecting
the freedom we enjoy today. We’ll also educate veterans regarding available
resources and work with them to ensure they receive the health care and benefits
they have earned. Veterans should bring their DD214 and a photo I.D. to the
event.

for benefits.
