Veterans are invited to participate in a national fitness program.

The Bryan-College Station Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic is hosting the "MOVE!" program mall walk at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Post Oak Mall in College Station

The program is designed to help veterans lose weight, keep it off and improve their health.

The Bryan-College Station MOVE! Group began classes at the VA clinic in February 2006 with a goal of helping participants lose weight. Medical staff members meet with the group at each class. Sixty veterans are active in the group.
