Veterans Resource Center 1-Year Anniversary & Dedication

Join us at Tulare Public Library (TPL) to celebrate our 1-Year Anniversary of our Veterans Resource Center and Dedication to 
Elvis Garcia Gonzalez (March 6, 1985 - August 8, 2015), a U.S. Army Combat Veteran during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) who served with distinction and helped establish VA Work-Study at TPL before his tragic death. Hosted by City Council Member and U.S. Military Mom, Shea Gowin, and distinguished guests Assembly Member Devon Mathis; Mayor David Macedo; Vice Mayor Carlton Jones; Rudy Mendoza speaking for Congressman Devin Nunes; and, of course, the Garcia-Gonzalez family who will receive an honorary plaque. A permanent plaque will be unveiled by Mayor Macedo. Thank you to all our guests, Tulare Community Band, the Central Valley Vietnam Veterans, and Employment Development Department for participating in this event. Once again, the resource center was made possible by "Veterans Connect @ the Library," an LSTA grant and partnership with CALVet.
