The goal is to highlight the needs of veterans in the community.
"A lot of people don't even know that we're there, that there is such a thing as a Veterans Service Office, and every county has one. So hopefully it will bring a lot of awareness to the veterans that they can if they're having issues they can come in and get help," said Kathy Cline, Director of Wexford County Veterans Services.
The free event will take place at the Wexford County Civic Center in Cadillac.
The expo begins with an opening ceremony at 9 a.m. presented by the Cadillac Area Honor Guard.
