MARYLAND: Landover resident starts support group for area veterans

Landover resident starts support group for area veterans

To aid other area veterans who might be suffering the ill effects of combat, Staggs, 63, of Landover launched the Fairmont Heights Veterans Association in October 2009. The group is designed to act as a resource and support group for local veterans, Staggs said.

The group meets at 2 p.m. monthly on the last Saturday at the Glenarden American Legion Post #275, 8201 Martin Luther King Jr. Highway. Staggs said the group uses the phrase "pass it on," meaning to share any information that might help as many veterans as possible.

For information about how to join the Fairmont Heights Veterans Association, contact Staggs at 301-773-8938.
