They have already been a great help to the Post. We look forward to working with them this year to continue to build our Post on all fronts.

There are also links to many V.A. website that you may find helpful.
Comrades Beware
There is a phone scam going on specifically targeting veterans. People are calling stating they are from the V.A. asking for your SSN# and credit card information to insure your medicine prescriptions will not be affected. DO NOT give them any info. The V.A. does not request any financial data over the phone and already has your SSN#. Hang up on them.
