The City of San Antonio is hosting a resource fair on Friday to support veterans, active-duty service members and their families.

The event will offer information on services like mental health support, housing assistance, and employment resources — all meant to help veterans transition into civilian life.

The event is hosted by San Antonio District 6 Councilmember Melissa Cabello Havrda, in collaboration with Bexar County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rebeca Clay-Flores and the filmmakers of American Sons.

The PBS documentary highlights the video diary of Marine JV Villareal, who was killed while on a tour in Afghanistan.

There will be a screening of the film at the event, which will be held from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. this Friday at the Palmetto Center for the Arts at Northwest Vista College.

Once open, services will be available to veteran students, active military, and military families attending Northwest Vista College. These services will include academic advising, career counseling and mental health support.
