Augusta, Maine - First Lady Ann LePage will attend a panel discussion titled: “After the Uniform 2012: Servings the Veterans who Served Us,” at the University of Southern Maine on Tuesday, May 08, 2012 at 8:00 am. The event will be held in the Wishcamper Center on campus.
The event will be with some of the nation’s top leaders to discuss solutions to the problems facing America’s returning veterans. The event is being put on by Volunteers of America Northern New England, and is the first event in a planning three-year convention on the critical challenges facing veterans.

It is our responsibility as Americans to come together, and support our military community, both while they are deployed, and when they return home.”
