The Never Leave One Behind (NLOB) Organization held its Annual free veterans information seminar last Saturday, February 1st at the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA.
A room full of information-seekers we’re able to get all their questions answered concerning all things related to the military veterans’ experience.
Certified speakers Dr. Dennis Eley of Military Outreach Ministries International Church and La’Kemba Hinton of Mental Heath Clinician County of San Diego were able to explain the full range of veterans’ rights and benefits. Transition Services Officer John C. Hood Jr. from the Disabled American Veterans Department explained to the curious crowd the entire eligibility process concerning their benefits.
Mr. Hood, the dynamic speaker made health care, money, employment, education, and other important resources and opportunities clear and plain to all who attended.
“He really cares about helping people. He stays up late at night talking to veterans and helping them with their issues,” Dr. Inez Price of NLOB shared. “We are so fortunate that he crossed our path. He is such a wealth of knowledge and a genuinely good person, and a blessing to our cause.”
Last Saturday’s Annual Veterans Seminar was another prime example of NLOB’s mission to help and serve their community.
“I think this is a great event to help veterans and their concerns,” Vietnam Veteran Clearance Sellers said. “Thanks to NLOB for putting this together. This can really make a difference in our lives.”
