A VFW Post Service Officer helps veterans and their families understand and apply for VA benefits, connects them to resources, assists with paperwork, and provides guidance. They are the Post’s go-to helper for veteran support- working closely with trained VFW Service Officers to make sure veterans get the help they’ve earned.
We are working to bring a Post Service Officer (PSO) to our Post. In the meantime, please connect with our local Service Officers for assistance. Below is a list of those locations:
