The Veteran Engagement Subcommittee of the VA Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses is teaming up with James A. Haley VA in Tampa, Florida, on June 24-25 to host two Veteran Engagement Sessions for 1990-91 Gulf War Veterans.
These sessions provide Veterans the opportunity to interact with others and share their experiences living with and seeking treatment for Gulf War Illness. They’re free and open to 1990-91 Veterans and their family members, caregivers, physicians, scientists and members of the general public.
To encourage every Gulf War Veteran to join and share their stories, these sessions will be held both in-person and virtually, via Webex. The Veteran Engagement Subcommittee hopes you’ll join.
Both sessions will be held at James A. Haley VA Middle SCI dining room, 13000 Bruce B. Downs, Tampa. Parking is free and the building is handicap accessible.
