Veterans invited to free breakfast

All Chester County veterans and veterans’ organizations are invited to attend a free breakfast, hosted by the Chester County Department of Veterans Affairs and Chester County Recorder of Deeds Rick Loughery, on Thursday, Feb. 5.

The program, which will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. at the West Chester University Alumni and Foundation Center, will include a discussion facilitated by Veterans Affairs Director Lawrence Davidson on services available to veterans in the county.

“Chester County has a vast number of worthwhile veterans initiatives, offered by veterans and other related organizations across a wide geographical area,” said Davidson. “Our intention for this breakfast to is to bring together many veterans groups, interested businesses, and individuals to begin a collaborative county-wide conversation about veteran services; to explore ways in which we can learn from each other and to share ideas that successfully support our veterans.”

Details of the student veterans program and West Chester University’s ROTC program will also be available.

Any veteran who brings his or her DD-214 discharge papers to the breakfast will also be eligible to receive a veteran ID discount card from the Chester County Recorder of Deeds office. The veterans ID discount program, now in its third year, offers savings at more than 100 business locations throughout the county.

“When registering their DD-214 discharge papers form with the Recorder of Deeds Office, Chester County veterans will receive a photo ID card, entitling them to discounts with businesses in Chester County that are honored to note the sacrifice of our veterans in a very generous way,” said Loughery.

The breakfast is sponsored by the West Chester University Alumni Association and First Resource Bank. The alumni center is located at 202 Carter Drive, West Chester.
