Veterans should never be charged for filing a claim or assistance to do so! Need help? Make a call to your local American Legion post & ask for their specially trained & accredited Service Officer. Don't be fooled by unaccredited bad actors charging for assistance.
#veterans

[The American Legion @AmericanLegion]

In 2023 our accredited service officers secured $18.8 billion in benefits claims for #veterans - FREE OF CHARGE.
The VA benefits system can be complicated. Use an expert to get help. You've earned it.

How can you #BeTheOne to help reduce #veteran #suicide?
Ask veterans in your life how they are doing.
Listen when a veteran needs to talk.
Reach out when a veteran is struggling.
It can make a difference. And save a life.
