State Senator Pat Browne, R-16th District, and the Lehigh County Office of Veterans Affairs will host a special expo for military veterans from 4 to 8 p.m. on May 26 in the Jewish Community Center, 22nd and Tilghman streets in Allentown.

I strongly urge all veterans to attend this informative session and find out what is available to them."
