EastTexConnects is a transportation committee that is administered by the East Texas Community of Governments and they are partnering with veterans organizations in East Texas to offer “basic training,” which will be a walk-through program Thursday for 25 veterans that will provide them the chance to visit the VA Hospital without having to depend on automobile travel to Dallas.
