Armed & Ready
Mission Statement
- Creation of “safe-harbor” environment thru the use of local VFW Posts for events.
- State and Federal agencies can fulfill their mandate to inform Veterans of all benefits for their service to our Country.
- Events help local Posts to increase membership to the VFW.
This Program was necessitated as a result of confusion and uncertainty of benefits and entitlements earned by Veterans. Our Program has been designed for Veterans already home and for those coming home soon. A large part of the success of the program is due to our special emphasis of “Veterans HELPING Veterans.”
Helps our Veterans get on the fast track learning from experienced Veterans:
- Resume Writing
- Job Placement
- Assistance with Entitlement Rights
- Career Development
- Benefits Explanation
- VFW Scholarship Opportunities
- Education Benefits
