Fort Carson is hosting the 2024 Military Retiree/Spouse Appreciation Day on Saturday.

The event provides an opportunity for retired soldiers, surviving spouses, and their families to update their retirement benefits and entitlements, major Army programs, and initiatives, a news release said.

Attendees can talk with representatives offering services such as medical wellness, TRICARE, legal assistance, Department of Veterans Affairs, ID card services, Army and Air Force Exchange Service, Defense Commissary Agency and BENEFEDS, the federal portal for benefits.

“This event is about honor and gratitude to our retirees and their families and providing the information and resources on the local installations that serve and assist our retiree community,” said Nick Palarino, chair, Fort Carson Retiree Council in a release. “This day is about thanking the retirees and their families for their service, reconnecting them with fellow retirees, and helping them explore the benefits and services available to them.”

The free event will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at The HUB on Fort Carson. To attend, you must have a valid, federally issued photo ID to access the post.
