INDIANA – United States Senator Mike Braun’s Office wanted to make you aware of an upcoming Veteran and Military Event that will soon be occurring in your region. Also, attached is information about our next Academy Day, which will be in Indianapolis.
This is an opportunity for Veterans, Active Military, Members of the Guard, and their families to receive assistance through our office’s many services. Our programs include but are not limited to federal agency assistance, where our office acts as a liaison between constituents and a federal agency such as The Veterans Administration, Department of Defense, Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and more.
The services includes providing service academy nominations, where Senator Braun recommends some of Indiana’s most talented and skilled Hoosiers to attend the United States Military Academies. They also assist constituents in requests for those wishing to have a flag flown (payment required) over the U.S. Capitol or requests for those planning tours in the U.S. Capitol, White House, Library of Congress, U.S. Supreme Court, or the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Attendees are also welcomed to come voice their views on matters in Congress, Federal Government, and Washington D.C.
