Lincoln County Veteran Services Office is holding a “Stand Down” event Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Oregon National Guard Armory in Newport to help connect veterans with services.
The event is an annual resource fair dedicated to providing former members of the military with important services and resources. The nationwide events are modeled after the Stand Down concept used during the Vietnam War to provide a safe retreat for units returning from combat operations.
Lincoln County’s Stand Down event is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The armory is located at 541 S.W. Coast Highway.
In addition to accessing housing, health care, education, and employment resources, lunch will be provided. For more information, call 541-265-0570 or email vets@co.lincoln.or.us.
