WPCNR STARS AND STRIPES. September 16, 2004: Westchester County Executive Andy Spano is urging veterans to visit the County's Veterans Service Agency to register for medical benefits that could make them eligible for a variety of benefits including services at VA hospitals.

The Veterans Service Agency in conjunction with the Bronx VA Medical Center is sponsoring the "Veterans Registration Day” on Thursday, September 16, 2004 at the agency's office on 112 East Post Road, 4^th floor, Room 442, White Plains.

"It's very important that veterans take advantage of this opportunity to register for medical benefits,'' said Spano. "We are holding these special registration days because we want to make sure that the veterans who served our country get all the benefits they are entitled to under the law. Registering takes only a few minutes, and it is well worth the time.''  Important Note:  If you are presently registered, there is no need to register again.

To register, veterans should bring a copy of their (DD214) separation papers to the Veterans’ Service Agency office from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Thursday, September 16, 2004. For more information, contact the Veterans Service Agency at 914-995-2145.
