Lincoln County Veteran Services Office will hold a Veteran Stand Down event Nov. 14 at the National Guard Armory in Newport. The Veteran Stand Down is an annual resource fair dedicated to providing former members of the military with important services and resources. The nationwide events are modeled after the Stand Down concept used during the Vietnam War to provide a safe retreat for units returning from combat operations.
Lincoln County’s Stand Down event starts at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 14 and runs until 2
p.m. In addition to accessing housing, health care, education, and employment resources,
lunch will be provided for all veterans who attend. The National Guard Armory is located at 541 SW Coast Highway in Newport. Lincoln County thanks all current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces for their dedication and service. For more information, call 541-265-0570.
