Monday in Anchorage, Senate Veterans Affairs Committee field hearing

We're opening with this from the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee:

FIELD HEARING NOTICE
 
 
There will be a meeting of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs at the Southcentral Foundation in Anchorage, Alaska on Monday, August 26, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. to conduct a field hearing titled “The State of Veterans Services in Alaska”.
 
 
 
 
 
Heather L Vachon
Chief Clerk
Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
SR-412 Russell Senate Office Building
202-224-3923




A field hearing is when they go outside DC.  Alaska's veterans are lucky to have Senator Mark Begich who never fails to raise their issues in DC Senate Veterans Affairs Committee hearings.  He ensures that the VA is aware of their needs and the problems they face -- problems that usually go to the rural nature of Alaska and how that impacts access. 

This hearing is this Monday morning and a perfect time for Alaska's veterans, their families, supporters and those interested in the Senate process to show up. 

We'll note this in today's snapshot as well and I'll carry it over to Third on Sunday.
