Open house held for veterans in need of assistance

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Elks Lodge and the Vietnam Veterans of America hosted an open house Saturday for veterans who need assistance with claims with the VA.

Veterans could report medical concerns and speak with professionals from the Veterans Administration. They could also work to find resolutions to claims or other concerns had with the VA.

Organizers said they are concerned about the continuing problems with the Wilmington VA Clinic, but that today was about helping those veterans in need of medical service.
