AUSTIN/EDINBURG – Texas Land Commissioner and Veterans Land Board (VLB) Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham, M.D., is celebrating the success of the South Texas Veterans Resource Fair held this past weekend in Edinburg, Texas.
“Helping provide opportunities for our Veterans to get their questions answered on their benefits is an extremely important aspect of the work we do at the Texas General Land Office (GLO) and the Veterans Land Board (VLB),” said Commissioner Buckingham. “I’m thrilled that this past weekend, we were able to help disseminate this vital information to hundreds of our heroes who have given so much to us through their service to our country. We will always support our Veterans and ensure they know about their rightfully earned benefits.”
The VLB was proud to host this event alongside representatives with the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), Hidalgo County Veterans Service Office, City of Edinburg, and Veterans Affairs (VA).
More than 300 Veterans attended the Resource Fair, which was held at the Edinburg Arts Culture & Events Center (ACE) and connected Veterans with benefits and services they have earned through their service to our country. Veterans in attendance received multiple services including answering questions about:
- VLB Home and Land Loan Programs
- Texas State Veterans Homes
- Texas State Veterans Cemeteries
- Education and Employment benefits
- Filing Disability and Other Claims
