Retiree Appreciation Day

This year, The West Virginia National Guard will be hosting its third annual Military Retiree Appreciation Day. As the momentum and interest in this event continues to expand and we continue to rotate this event throughout the state, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to take this event to the Oak Hill/Beckley area. West Virginia is the first state in the nation to hold this event under a state military command and while we have redrawn the schematic on how to conduct a “RAD” we continue to adjust fire to improve the experience for all involved.
The intent of this day is to push the “reset button” on all things dealing with military retirees. There will be sessions on benefits, opportunities, updates on current military information and representatives from a broad range of veteran support groups, and veteran focused support businesses. This will provide a chance for you to set up MYPAY, DS Logins, and all things related to internet/web-based information systems to include the new ID cards. This event is for all retirees/families and survivors regardless of service branch to include gray area retirees as well. It will also provide the opportunity for you to meet up with other retirees from across the state and region. I have found that the social interaction between military retirees is most stimulating and appreciated. More information will be provided in the coming days and weeks as we continue finalizing specifics. I will also provide a listing of vendors that will be participating.
We look forward to seeing you there and we also invite questions, suggestions on what you think will help make the day more valuable.
