Superior students hold an expo for veterans

The third annual Veterans Expo was held Tuesday in Superior to assist area veterans and their families.

Hundreds of veterans learned how to maximize their benefits by talking to local experts.

The free event is an annual resource, benefits and education fair.

It is held specifically for Duluth, Superior and Douglas County veterans as well as Twin Ports VA employees.

“They’ve sacrificed for us so I think it’s important for us to give back and there’s so many services for veterans that they don’t realize when they come back into the civilian life,” said Monte Stewart, Student Services Coordinator at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. 

More than 30 local, state and federal agencies that serve veterans and others were on hand with informational displays.
