Yesterday, I was invited to attend the very first "Eastern Kentucky Veterans' Expo" in Ashland, Kentucky. This event was hosted by Morehead State University and many other community vendors. It was great to celebrate Flag Day and our Military's Birthday while honoring our active military and our veterans. This event was sponsored by Morehead State University and many other community groups and vendors. They had an opening ceremony with many VIP guests, including members from our state senate, house of representatives, our secretary of state, General Hogan, and a few others. I then had the opportunity to meet the veterans and active military members who came out to this event. Inside the event, they had job assistance, educational opportunities, medical assistance, door prizes, lunch, and many other opportunities for our veterans to seek out. This was a very special day and I am so thankful to have been invited.
