Summer Vet Fest and Pact Awareness Event

Signed into law Aug. 10, 2022, the PACT Act is the largest expansion of Veteran health care and benefits in generations. It will benefit millions of Veterans of the Vietnam War, Gulf War and post-9/11 eras who were exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange and other toxins while serving our country — and their survivors.

Summer VetFest gives Veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors the opportunity to learn more about the PACT Act and encourage them to apply for the health care and benefits they have earned. 

If you or your loved one served during the Vietnam War, Gulf War era, or post 9/11, your VA eligibility may have increased. All Veterans are invited to learn more about what VA offers and how to access these earned resources. If you know other Veterans or survivors who may be eligible, please share with them!
