Oct. 11—DALLAS — State Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, invites veterans to schedule an appointment to meet with a VFW service officer at her Dallas office location.

Appointments with a Service Officer are available at no charge on the second Friday of every month.

Sen. Baker encourages veterans of all ages and from all service eras to utilize the Pennsylvania Veterans of Foreign Wars Service Officer Network, to receive free information and assistance for government benefits.

This assistance may include VA healthcare, compensation, pension, education and dependent benefits. Surviving spouses can also use these Service Officers at no charge to learn about their eligibility for VA benefits.

"Thanks to the sacrifices of our veterans and their families, we are able to enjoy everyday freedoms that continue to make our country a unique beacon of hope across the world," Sen. Baker said. "During challenging economic times, many veterans continue to need our assistance, now more than ever. I encourage any veteran or spouse with questions regarding benefits, to schedule a time to meet with a service officer."

On Friday, Oct. 8, the VFW service officer will be available for scheduled appointments at Sen. Baker's office, 22 Dallas Shopping Center, Memorial Highway, Dallas. All veterans, not just VFW members, can request appointments between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
