Northern Nevada Events Provide Discharge Upgrade Opportunities for LGBTQ Veterans


By Rob Williams (Reno, NV) – The Nevada Department of Veterans Services (NDVS) will be attending several events over the month of June that will provide LGBTQ veterans with the opportunity to see if they are eligible for a discharge upgrade. The Department of Defense has changed some of its policies that might impact some individuals who received a less than an honorable discharge due to their sexual orientation. NDVS will be at the following events: June 8th Reno VA Diversity Fair, VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System. You are asked to meet at the Flagpole, 975 Kirman Avenue, Reno from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM. July 14th Carson City Sassabration, meet at Carson City Hot Springs, 1500 Old Hot Springs Road, Carson City. July 28th Reno Pride Festival at Wingfield Park. Should you or someone you know have been discharged improperly or unfairly, we encourage you to speak to our representative at one of these events to learn more. You may also make an appointment with a Veteran Service Office by calling 775-321-4880.
