ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Although Alaska has one of the highest numbers of people serving in the military per capita, Thursday's summit on veterans' issues was the first of its kind.
It was hosted by the state Legislature's Veterans' caucus, made up of lawmakers and legislative staff who want to bring more attention to veterans' issues.
Snip
This year the Veterans' Caucus was instrumental in getting legislation passed to restore benefits to Alaska Territorial Guard veterans who lost them due to a glitch in federal policy. The state will pay these benefits until the federal government straightens out the problem.............
