Veterans

The Veterans Service Office promotes the interest and welfare of veterans, their dependents, and their survivors by enhancing their quality of life through counseling, education, benefits assistance, and advocacy.

Veteran Saluting an American FlagWe connect Veterans to their benefits by assisting in their interactions with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and hope to make easier the process of applying for benefits like Veterans Health Care and Veterans Pension. We would encourage any Veteran, or any Veteran's family member, to visit our office if they're interested in applying for their benefits.
