Those VetsFirst members who visit this site frequently know that we have expanded our mission recently.
Over the years, a major focus for our veteran members with spinal cord injuries, diseases or disorders is to make certain that they are receiving the benefits that they are entitled to by law from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
As someone who has been a member of our organization for just about 42 years now, I know that VetsFirst is one of the best among veterans service organizations in helping our members obtain their VA benefits. Our highly-trained service officers are experts on the benefits which our veteran members have earned through their service and sacrifice.
Now, we seek to deliver the same caliber of service to veterans with any type of disabling condition, their spouses and their depenedents. While our focus has always been on SCI veterans and those with related conditions, in reality we never turn a veteran away who seeks our help with a VA benefits claim.
One reason for growing our mission is our experienced service officer staff. I haven’t added up the combined number of years of experience represented by our veterans benefits staff, but most of these employees have been with us for many years precisely because they know what they are doing.
We truly need our current members help, too, if our mission change is to be successful.
Many of us know other veterans in our families, in our communities, in our places of worship or in our workplaces who may have a disability. If so, please tell them about the recent expansion of VetsFirst to serve all disabled veterans, or encourage them to spend some time on this website. In either case, I don’t think that they will regret checking out VetsFirst.
