Bring: DD 214 or NGB 22 discharge papers.  If discharge papers are not available, please bring the social security card of the military personnel.

“All of our military personnel have given personal sacrifices in leaving their loved ones to protect our freedoms,” Rep Anielski said. “It is my intention to make sure that all those who have served, no matter in what capacity and no matter what era, are aware of the benefits and services available to them during the Military Benefits Fair."

"We have found military personnel, their families and surviving spouses who sacrificed to protect our freedoms that are unaware of the monetary, health and other benefits that they  deserve. We are thrilled to be able to provide easy access to a host of resources for military personnel of all ages and their families and hope that by bringing these resources to our community, they will be able to utilize the benefits they have earned." said Jill Frankel, Solon Senior Coordinator.
