Hjemkomst Center holds event for veterans

A sign of support in Moorhead for those serving our country. The Fargo Veterans Affairs Health Care System sponsored a veterans event at the Hjemkomst Center. Vets of all ages learned about health benefits and education and financial assistance among other things. This morning, there was a program honoring women who served in the military. It included a medal ceremony and breast cancer prevention talk.

Debra Kunkel – Department of Veterans Affairs: “We have a lot of veterans that have served from the Red River Valley so we have an obligation to provide programs and services to them and make them aware of what's available for them and their families.”

This event even featured a class focused on the power of laughter and yoga.
