U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands and dozens of veteran support groups are inviting veterans to join them on Monday.

Brady's annual Veterans Resource Fair will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Lone Star College-Montgomery Health Science Building Atrium in Building B located at 3200 College Park Drive in Conroe.

"This Thanksgiving week I am so thankful for heroes like Sam Johnson and the tens of thousands of veterans that call the 8th congressional district home," Brady said. "This a great opportunity to get information on veterans' health care, on pensions, education benefits, veterans' therapy programs, job programs and so much more, including talking one-on-one with local veterans advocates and organizations who can help you. So join me ..."
