Service officers, appeals reps help veterans free of charge; Veterans Day “an amazing honor.”
American Legion accredited service officers and appeals representatives assisted veterans in their efforts to obtain VA disability benefits and to appeal decisions – to the tune of over $1.8 billion in November alone.
The American Legion celebrated the month of Veterans Day by honoring those who have served in uniform and military-connected families seeking rewarding civilian careers, as well as those trying to navigate the VA system. A virtual career fair in collaboration with MilitaryHire and VA attracted more than 3,400 job candidates Nov. 6, and an Operation Comfort Warriors grant also helped put shoes on the feet of homeless and at-risk veterans in the Washington, D.C., area.
