Veterans across the nation were honored during Veterans Day celebrations on Sunday. Locally, vets are invited to yet another event tonight to keep them up-to-date on issues pertaining to them.

The Newton American Legion Post #111 is hosting a meeting at 7:15 p.m. tonight “concerning the direction of The American Legion, legislative issues facing our veterans and how your community can be involved in assisting those who are serving or have returned from deployments,” according to a letter from Lyle Schaffer, department commander of The American Legion of Iowa.

State and local officers also will be on hand to answer questions concerning benefit and claim issues.
