Veterans Roundtable Marks First Anniversary

TYLER — Tyler officials are marking one year of existence for an effort to help veterans. According to press materials, the Mayor’s Veterans Roundtable was established in May 2011 to develop and implement a Community Blueprint for supporting and enhancing Veterans services in Tyler. The focus of the Roundtable is on employment, education, housing, medical care and mental health.

“Since the creation of the Veterans Roundtable, significant progress has been made toward enhancing the relationship between Veterans, their families and the Tyler community,” said Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass. “The members of the Roundtable have worked tirelessly to ensure Tyler’s Veterans have the resources they need available to them. I am very pleased with the progress that has been made in one short year.” You can go to http://www.cityoftyler.org to read much more.
