KANSAS CITY, MO– Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06) will visit Platte and Jackson counties on Wednesday to hear directly from local veterans about the issues they consider important as part of his Veterans Advisory Councils. All area veterans are invited to attend, and are kindly requested to RSVP to Shawna.Searcy@mail.house.gov.
Graves will also tour the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Excelsior Springs Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Clay County. While media are invited to attend, this event is not open to the public.
