In Legal Terms: Veterans Assistance

It’s a big day today – Election Day in Mississippi. Next week is Veterans Day. We’ve got a patriotic show planned. Today’s show is dedicated to our veterans — the men and women who have served and sacrificed to defend our country. We’ll look at how government shutdowns impact veterans’ pay and benefits, explore the laws governing National Guard deployments, and discuss the real-world issues facing service members today. Our guest Ira Rushing from Tully Rinckey PLLC will help us understand.

In Legal Terms, the show about you and your rights hosted by attorney Adam Kilgore. [email protected]

We’ve got a holiday next Tuesday, Veterans Day, but there’s a Mississippi celebration before then. Friday the 7th through Sunday the 9th is the National Folk Festival in Jackson. This is a national big deal. MPB Think Radio will be live in downtown Jackson broadcasting concerts. There are concerts of dozens of musical genres. There are dance performances and a family play area. There are craft demonstrations. It’s free but there will be food vendors and merchandise for sale. And folks – there’s a clear bag policy in affect. See schedules at nationalfolkfestival.com This is all Friday through Sunday, the 7th through the 9th in Jackson Mississippi.
