More than 30 military veterans currently working in the commercial construction industry heard about a variety of benefits they and their families qualify for at the first Vets In Construction quarterly meeting on March 28. Representatives of various organizations including the Texas Veterans Commission, Harris County Veterans Service Office, Houston Volunteer Legal Aid, Funeral Arrangements and Home Land/Loan spoke about the multitude of benefits available for veterans.
"I had no idea that I qualify for a free, full military funeral service - including my family - nor did I know about the free legal aid clinics for vets," stated one veteran. For a list of resources, visit the AGC Houston Vets In Construction website page or contact Kim Mason for more information.
