CLARION – An American Legion veterans service officer will again be assisting veterans, active military members and their families during special outreach hours at Rep. Donna Oberlander’s (R-Clarion/Armstrong/Forest) district offices.
Beginning in March, Oberlander said that Bradley Baranski will resume his in-person outreach hours in Clarion and will begin them virtually in Elderton.
“Brad has been able to assist numerous residents with a variety of veteran- or service-related concerns,” Oberlander said. “We are happy to continue to offer this service in person at our Clarion office and to expand to our Elderton office through virtual means. I am hopeful people will take advantage of this valuable resource.”
