support and resources, the Department of Veterans Affairs launched a new website.
“Make the Connection”
is a website devoted to the unique needs of veterans.

It doesn’t matter what you believe or what your political views are, our veterans and active men and women in the service deserve our collective thanks.
1. Say Thank You
If you spot a veteran, an active duty service member or a reservist, just stop, say hello and thank them. That’s all you need to do.

American Legion
As the largest veterans organization, the American Legion not only supports veterans but the community. Believing that any great change starts in the neighborhoods of veterans, the American Legion supports veterans and their families, provides academic scholarships and promotes patriotism among the younger population.
Disabled American Veterans
The DAV’s mission is to promote the needs and interests of our disabled veterans in the community and at the governmental level. Similarly to the American Legion, DAV provides “grass-roots” assistance to disabled veterans including rides to their medical appointments.
